Guards in the narrow street leading to the two-story high school said they saw 10 casualties. Inside the school, an Associated Press video journalist saw walls splattered with blood, burned notebooks and children’s shoes. The school is teaching students only until grade 6 after Afghanistan’s hard-line Taliban rulers went back on a promise to allow all girls to attend school.
