The Buddha at Swat was only slightly damaged Local archaeology expert Professor Pervaiz Shaheen told the BBC that the Buddha statue in Swat valley was considered the largest in Asia, after the two Bamiyan Buddhas. Last week, militants blew up about 60 music, video and cosmetics stalls at a market in the valley after stall owners ignored warnings to close businesses deemed un-Islamic. He said it was 2,200 years old. Swat valley is a centre of the ancient Gandhara civilization. |
