The dead toll seems to have gone above 100, with 84 children dead.
This is insane.
The TTP have struck a school in Peshawar killing a number of children. Very unfortunate and tragic.

BBC reports that Taliban spokespersons have told the agency that the strike follows the aggressive operations under taken by the Pakistan Army to rout militants from northwest Pakistan. "Hundreds of Taliban fighters are thought to have died in a recent military offensive in North Waziristan and the nearby Khyber area," reports BBC.
According to a government spokesperson who spoke to ARY news the assailants entered the school wearing army fatigues.
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), incidentally, were also behind the attack on Malala Yousafzai....

At first I just shook my head. Then I imagine the bodies and it wrenches the heart.

A very sad incident. Prayers for the innocent kids.
JUST IN: Over 100 students killed, 80 injured in attack on army school in Peshawar
Taliban gunmen attack military-run school in northwest Pakistan
Says, 500 school kids are hostages.
Militants attack Peshawar school; 126 dead
122 killed are kids.
The Taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack.
This is a Pakistani 26/11 by Pakistanis themselves.

Taliban attack on a Pakistani Army school in Peshawar. At least 126 dead and scored wounded, mostly kids grades 1-10

Sad indeed, they tasted their own medicine and hope the nation recovers from this loss and wakes up the reality of terrorism in their country rather than blame India for alll of their misfortunes. Kids shouldn't have been involved in this, their army would have been justified,but not innocent kids.
Why would they deliberately kill so many little children?
I literally can't think of anything the Taliban could have done that would alienate their Pakistani supporters faster.
Attacking the Pakistani army or government would have been understandable, blowing up a marketplace would have been cowardly and indiscriminate, but intentionally targeting children just seems indefensible.
Their barbarism knows no bounds.
My deepest sympathies to the families of those who perished![]()
“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if the Senate determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role… because impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”
~ Lindsey Graham
"The notion that you can withhold information and documents from Congress no matter whether you are the party in power or not in power is wrong. Respect for the rule of law must mean something, irrespective of the vicissitudes of political cycles."

160+ dead, most of them kids. It is times like this when I wish I believed in the concepts of hell and eternal hellfire for the rabid dogs who did this.
I would like to see what the TTP apologists in Pakistan say now
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus
160 kids. That's a lot of future Engineers, Doctors, Scientists, Agriculturists, Humanitarians, Billionaires murdered. I know the PA is capable, I just wish they put an end to all of these mindless killings.
What's more painful is to see Pakistani's still believing that India/RAW is the behind all this. Just when India was trending #IndiawithPakistan they are trending #StopIndianterrorismInPakistan. Man will they even learntheir sins have come back to haunt them.. As much as I am against the violence against anyone anywhere when Kurdish girls and women were raped and sold in Black market there was not even a peep either from Indian side nor in Pakistan. I am with the families of the kids that lost their lives and pray they went to a better place , but if Pakistani's don't learn a lesson and want to blame us, god save them
