Pakistan School Blast

Simon Prather

A large part of our world is in the midst of violence on a daily basis. Thousands of innocent lives are threatened in the face of global terrorist acts. The brutality of such violence knows no boundaries, targeting innocent civilians, including children. The children stuck in these situations are doing nothing but living their lives. This makes them an easy target for devastating attacks, such as an explosion in an Islamic school located in Pakistan.
The blast occurred in Quetta, a western Pakistani city, killing three students and wounding six others. This is not the first tragic moment involving school aged children of Pakistan. During the past week there have been three other attacks on schools around the country. The holy Islamic month of Ramadan is celebrated throughout the month of September, and officials say this could be the motive behind such terrorist acts.
School violence happens all over the world. The story continues to be just as sad the more we watch young lives disappear through violence targeted at schools. This is a particular problem in countries where guerrilla warfare is continuously prominent. The terrorists committing these acts do not take anybody's lives into consideration. They are out to spread propaganda and hate through unjust violence.
