Boys primary school blown up in Nowshera
“We could not find the presence of militants in our jurisdiction so its very confusing as to who are destroying these schools,” said Hazrat Ali, an official of the Akora Khattak police.
Talking to The Express Tribune, the official said that around 6:00 am, explosives planted along the boundary wall of the school building exploded. As a result, two classrooms and the boundary wall of the under construction structure were damaged. No one was present to guard the building, locals said.
The official added that at around 8:00 am Haji Abdul Shakoor, a local elder came to the police station and registered an FIR against the contractor. In his report, Shakoor alleged that the contractor was using substandard material in the construction of the school which could ultimately result in the collapse of the school.
On October 3, unidentified suspected militants blew up a government high school for boys in Adamzai on the outskirts of Akora Khattak. Police claimed to have maintained law and order situation the area however, they have failed to arrest a single person behind the bombings of schools.

best bet is the contractor himself,to hide his wrongdoing.
I wonder too; and I also wonder why there's no evidence forthcoming till now? This violence has been around for a long time, if there was fire, there would have been smoke by now. I am surprised you didn't mention Israeli and American involvement too, along with Indian.
Do not let any one get educated and step out of dark ages esp women, motto of the Taliban.
But I wonder, what happens when we get some concrete evidence of RAW backing Taliban in these barbaric acts.
