As many as 141 people, of whom 132 were children, were massacred on Tuesday when heavily armed Taliban suicide bombers stormed a Pakistan army-run school in Peshawar, firing indiscriminately. Another 130 were injured, some critically so.

Dressed in para-military Frontier Corps uniforms, the seven Arabic-speaking terrorists entered the Army Public School on Warsak Road around 10 am (local time) from the rear of the building and went from classroom to classroom shooting innocent children indiscriminately in one of the most gruesome terror attacks anywhere.

Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations has said that the terrorists who attacked a school in Peshawar did not intend to take hostages but kill as many as possible.

The terrorists wore suicide vests and started shooting the moment they entered the school premises, he said.
