WASHINGTON, August 1, 2006 – Afghan and coalition forces detained four suspected al Qaeda operatives during an early morning raid today in Khowst province, and a group of extremists attacked a girls school in Parwan province July 28, U.S. military officials said.
No resistance was reported. An assault rifle and pistol were confiscated from the target location.
“The coalition continues to relentlessly pursue and disrupt al Qaeda and their associated movements,” Army Col. Thomas Collins, a coalition spokesman, said. “We'll continue to place pressure on their sanctuaries and known areas of operation.”
The four suspects are being detained and questioned regarding their participation in al Qaeda activities, officials said.
Also in Afghanistan, a group of extremists attacked a girls school July 28 in Parwan province. The extremists used small-arms and rocket–propelled-grenade fire to attack the school, causing a partial collapse of the roof.
Villagers returned fire on the extremists, and one Afghan civilian security guard was injured in the attack, according to local authorities.
”This is another example of total disregard for the progress the Afghan people have achieved. The extremists offer nothing but a bleak return to oppression,” Collins said. “Coalition forces, together with the Afghan government, will continue to seek out those who want nothing but darkness for the country.”
The actions of the villagers in Parwan demonstrate the Afghan people's dislike for the terrorists’ agenda, he added.

Islamofascists are such brave souls.... < / vile derision and sarc
Real tough fighters, attacking a girl's school. Good that the villagers gave 'em hell, though...
The title really says it all.
Right on!
GOOD NEWS.
In other words, Muslim terrorists attacked a girls' school -- and lost.
Great headline if the drive-by media dare print the truth:
Brave al Qaeda freedom-fighters in Afghanistan attacked a girls' school and lost.
"The extremists used small-arms and rocket–propelled-grenade fire to attack the school"
When do we take out Syria and Iran? There will be no peace until these people are brought to their knees.
Those Afghan Girl Scout Troops are tough.
Bump.
Extremists? Or just islamofascist death squads?
