School attacks spark fears of a lost generation of girls | The Australian: "Militant groups have been 'waiting and watching' as Pakistan reels from the effects of the worst floods in living memory, an intelligence source told The Times. The bombing of two girls' schools within days and a series of deadly blasts at Shia religious processions have raised fears that they are now making their move.
A girls' primary school was destroyed in Kalam in the Swat Valley, a former Taleban stronghold, last Friday. The attack, for which the Taliban claimed responsibility, was the first of its kind since the militants were flushed from the area by the Pakistani Army last year.
A girls' high school in the Landi Arbab area of Peshawar was bombed on Monday. Gunmen also killed a woman teacher in the Bajaur tribal region."
