After all, it contained Shias, and "the hardline Sunni Taleban say they consider the Shias heretical." More blatantly dishonorable jihadi behavior. "Pakistan Shia children 'attacked'," from BBC, February 27:
Taleban gunmen in north-west Pakistan have attacked a school bus, killing the driver and injuring three pupils in a sectarian attack, police say.Some reports say several children were abducted in the attack in Hangu.
Police say the children in the bus were Shia Muslims. It follows the murder of a Shia lawyer in Hangu on Thursday.
The Taleban are active in Hangu - where there is tension between Shias and Sunnis - and have imposed their version of Sharia law in parts of the area.
Hangu - in North West Frontier Province - has seen especially violent clashes in the past between Shias and Sunnis during the Shia religious ceremony of Ashura.
The hardline Sunni Taleban say they consider the Shias heretical.
