Pakistani Women Teachers Receive Firearms Training

Authorities have begun firearms training for women teachers in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar. The instructions are part of the measures the government is taking to secure educational institutions following a Taliban massacre that killed more than 150 students and teachers in an army-run school in the city on December 16. The nine women teachers of Peshawar's Frontier College considered knowing how to handle pistols and Kalashnikov assault rifle (AK-47) a necessary skill in their current uncertain environment.
