PESHAWAR: Firing on a school van by unidentified men on Friday morning injured a young girl in northwestern Pakistan's Charsadda district.
The nature of the injury sustained by the girl could not be ascertained immediately.
According to police, the incident that took place in Charsadda's Manikhel area of Sar Dheri was not a militant attack and the gunmen had a personal dispute with the driver.
Sar Dheri police have registered a case in relation to the incident and have started a search for the gunmen.
According to sources, the injured girl has been shifted to District Headquarters Hospital, Charsadda.
The school van is reported to have been carrying 15 children.
Security for school children has become a major concern in many parts of the country, especially after the horrific attack on Peshawar's Army Public School which killed 150 people, most of them children.

Now call her Malala and disown her too.
is the govt trying to hide some thing?? even if some one has rivalry with driver, why they will target him when carrying school children??? some thing fishy.
Wake up Pakistan! We will give you Kashmir but please fix all these inhumane activities in your country. How will you protect Kashmiri people if can't protect your own people? Wake up for God sake and save ur little angels.
@Peace. Please stop killing the innocent Kashmiris, ask your armed forces to stop this brutal murders of our Kashmiri brothers, if you can't stop it then how can you defend other innocent minorities now living in your so called secular India.
@Peace i agree with you , kashmir is not important for us at the moment we should first fix our own problems , our politicians are worrying about kashmir than our own problems we need peace and economic stability first
@Hornet those days are gone and all created because of millitant activities. You must visit Kashmir n see the change now. Flow of tourism has again started to grow. Bollywood is once again moving their focus on kashmir. Pakistan Govt need to focus more on problems of Pakistani people than on kashmir. Just for their political gain they are playing with the sentiments of people. Wake up! Its now or never.....God bless all the people of Pakistan a prosperous life ahead. May peace prevail there forever.....
@Hornet Don't involve India in all issues you face brother. India is not the best in the world off course, But Accept the fact that INDIA is far better than Pakistan in every aspect.
