◼ Pakistan School Attack: Taliban Militants Kill 126 in Peshawar - NBC News

Taliban militants laid siege to a Pakistan high school in a brazen hours-long attack on Tuesday, killing more than 100 children in an atrocity condemned by the White House as "heinous" and "horrific."

More than eight hours after uniformed militants struck the school, the Pakistani military confirmed the assault was over. Officials said that at least 126 lives were lost — and most of the victims were children.

"The gunmen entered class by class and shot some kids one by one," a student who was in the Army Public School in Peshawar at the time told local media.

The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which Pakistani officials said appeared to be aimed at the children of senior military personnel. Heartbreaking scenes played out in the streets around the school, as parents rushed to a nearby hospital for news of their children.
