"Western-style education and schools have long been a target for terrorist groups. The worst school attack happened in 2004, when Chechen rebels ... held a school in the Russian city of Beslan hostage on the first day of the school year. ... the Russian government stormed the building. 186 children were killed. Attacks on educational institutions have skyrocketed since the Beslan attack — peaking at roughly 400 attempted attacks in 2014 before falling to around 250 attacks in 2016, according to the Global Terrorism Database."

Seems like I should google "school attacks" or something similar every day, so I can know about this subject. Or maybe something more general like terrorist attacks, so I can know what percent of attacks are against schools.
The people involved in this have tongue-twisting names like "Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad."
