The Bacha Khan University in Charsadda of northwest Pakistan has been hit by militants today. At least 20 people were feared to be killed and 50 more seems to be injured in the attack. The militants have entered the university today morning and have captured two blocks. Many civilians were suspected to be trapped in those two blocks. The army was quick to tackle the situation and has killed four of the militants. The military operation is still in force and three more militants were suspected to be alive in the premises. The campus was earlier bustling with 3000 students and 600 guests and luckily, most of them were evacuated at the onset of the attack. Charsadda is just 50 kilometers away from Peshawar where the militants has stormed a school in December 2014 and has killed 132 children. With the present assault on the university, militants seem to get gruesome enough to aim at the soft targets!
