Jat | 9 years ago | Reply What do you mean by "first explosive-handling school" ? Pakistan has had such schools for decades, where handling and use is taught by government experts. Countries like Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Egypt regularly send their students to such Pakistani schools... this is the main problem, the way some people try to downplay Pakistan's achievements and expertise in such matters.
