JALALABAD, Afghanistan - Insurgents torched a primary school for girls and boys in Afghanistan, in the latest attack on educational institutions in the conservative Islamic country, officials said on Thursday.

The school in the Alingar district of the eastern province of Laghman, where hundreds of youngsters studied, was set ablaze Wednesday night by unidentified armed men, police spokesman Zalmay Khan told AFP.
