**MINGORA: Announcing the launching of protest against the attack on schoolgirls including Malala Yousafzai, the Swat Qaumi Jirga on Wednesday said the incident happened because the civil and military establishment had failed to maintain peace in the valley.

Addressing a press conference here, the leaders of the jirga including Mukhtiar Yousafzai, Muhammad Sher Khan, Malik Riaz Ahmad, Khwaja Muhammad Khan and Zahid Khan said the attack was not the first incident of its kind in the area.

They said the incident happened because the security forces and the police had failed to arrest those involved in similar attacks on notables such as Muzaffar Khan, Zahid Khan and Afzal Khan.

They said Malala Yousafzai, Kainat and Shazia were attacked near a security checkpoint yet no body could dare to stop or arrest the attackers. The jirga members asked the government to conduct immediate investigation into the incident to ascertain why and how militancy in Swat was promoted a few years ago.

**They thanked the people, political leaders and foreign governments for condemning the cowardly act of attack on the innocent girls and expressing solidarity with their families. The jirga leaders said they would convene a grand jirga in November to chalk out future strategy about peace in Swat.
