7 Killed After Teaching Girls in Pakistan

Seven people were killed when gunmen attacked their bus, in Swabi, Pakistan, on Tuesday.

Five of the seven were female teachers, the other two were health workers.

Their driver was wounded in the attack.

Four gunmen, on motorcycles, swarmed the bus after it left the community center, where a primary school for girls had been taking place.

No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attacked happened in Peshawar, the same province in which Malala Yousufzai was attacked, in October.

Taliban forces have regularly attacked anyone trying to teach girls, especially if the teachers were women.
