Taleban 'will kill school girls'

Taleban militants in the Swat valley in north-west Pakistan have threatened to kill girls who attend school.
A local Taleban commander ordered parents to stop sending their daughters to school by 15 January.
In comments broadcast on an illegal radio station, he threatened to blow up schools which enrolled female students.
This year alone, Taleban militants have destroyed more than 130 schools in the Swat valley. They want to bring in Islamic sharia law in the region.
Militant attacks on schools in the region have deprived more than 17,000 students of education.

1. The people who call themselves "taliban" were never all in Afghanistan

in the first place. This movement started in the refugee camps in Pakistan and there's plenty more pissed off people where these came from. There seem to be two groups that overlap: people who want to operate in Afghanistan and people who mainly want to operate in Pakistan.

2. This is nothing new. They were sending "night letters"

threatening to kill people--teachers, parents who supported schools, students-- last year when I was there. The "night letters" are posted on walls at night.
