A teacher in Pakistan has been stabbed to death by a female colleague and her granddaughters, who believed unconfirmed reports that the victim had offended Muslim Prophet Muhammad, the country’s police announced today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The two students and the teacher had ambushed Safoora Bibi yesterday at the main entrance of the girls’ school and attacked her with a knife and a stick, officers said.<\/p>\n
“She died when she was stabbed in the throat,” said local police official Saghir Ahmed.<\/p>\n
The two girls told police that a relative of theirs “had seen in a dream” that the victim had committed blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad, officers said, but added that they were investigating a personal conflict that the main suspect, Umra Aman, had with the victim.<\/p>\n
“Aman was her colleague who planned the crime with her two granddaughters studying at the Jamia Islamia Falahul Binaat school,” police said.<\/p>\n
The incident took place at the Dera Ismail Khan ultra-conservative school in the northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on the border with Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
The killing is most recently linked to the delicate issue of blasphemy in Pakistan, whose harsh laws are reportedly being used for personal revenge between citizens in other conflicts.<\/p>\n
Religious schools known as ‘madrasas’ have served as a lifeline for many poor children in Pakistan, where social services are almost non-existent.<\/p>\n
Statistics say 84 people have been charged with blasphemy in the past year alone, and at least three have been killed in self-immolation by mobs on such charges.<\/p>\n
