Some four days ago, they fired on the tyres of an empty bus hired by the school. Some months ago, a grenade was hurled at the same school. All attacks appear to be designed not to harm, but just to scare them.8217;8217;
The militants have accused the school of spreading Christianity.
Media reports said the patron of the school, Netherland-born evangelist, Jim Borst, was converting people in the name of spreading education.
