U.S. Condemns School Bombing In Peshawar

September 20, 2010

Islamabad - The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan strongly condemns the bombing of a government school in Palosi, Peshawar on September 19.  Efforts by extremists to prevent young students from obtaining the education necessary to improve their lives demonstrates their contempt for Pakistan's future generations.

The United States will continue working to support the people of Pakistan as they strive to secure a future of peace, freedom, and opportunity for themselves and their children, free from violence and intimidation.
