PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) – A bomb killed 12 children on Saturday in a restive part of northwest Pakistan which the government has put under Islamic law as part of a shaky peace deal with theTaliban, police said.
Officials had earlier said at least four children died in the blast which came after a warning this week by the United States that Islamist advances in northwest Pakistan pose “an existential threat” to the country.
“The children had found the bomb outside a girls’ primary school in Luqman Banda village of Lower Dir town,” a local police official said.
The victims included seven boys and five girls ranging between five and 13 years old, said the official, Said Zaman.
He said that “the bomb was of oval shape and it exploded while children were playing with it in the compound of their house not knowing that it was an explosive device”.
