The Worst Massacre In Recent Time by Kingspin(m): 8:03pm On Dec 17, 2014
ABUJA - As I read the story, I asked myself,
when will this killing end?. First it was
the kidnap of over 200 Chibook
school girls in Chibok, Nigeria, and
how the worst happened yesterday.
About 170 people were killed in a Pakistani school by the Taliban
(terrorist group). Reports say 132 of
the dead were kids. MailOnline just posted a story of how it
all happened. This is sad, this is
wickedness, so bad that the Afghan
Taliban condemned the evil act
committed by their Pakistani
counterpart. Below is the summary of the barbaric event • Gunmen (numbering seven) in
Peshawar entered school (which
has students aged 10 to 18) and
started shooting at random • One terrorist blew himself up in
a classroom containing 60
children • Teacher set on fire in front of
pupils, with the children forced to
watch the awful and agonizing
death ( The victim – allegedly
singled out because she was
married to a senior army officer – was said to be the wife of army
soldier Subedar Abbass.) • One investigative official told
MailOnline: ‘They knew that
children of many army personnel
are studying in the school’. •’Also they had the complete
information that wives of certain
army officials are teachers in the
school.’ • Insurgents had ‘inside
information’ before carrying out
well-planned attack • A 10-year-old boy caught up in
the massacre has spoken of his
dramatic escape from Taliban
gunmen as bullets whizzed past
his head – having seen two of his
classmates shot dead in front of him. • Another boy said he was the
sole survivor of a group of ten
friends who tried to find a hiding
place but were mown down. • Other survivors told how they
played dead while insurgents
scoured the school looking for
children to shoot, before open
fire indiscriminately – sometimes
with smiles on their faces • Taliban accepted responsibility
for the attack, claiming it ‘was just
a trailer’ • Expert claims attack could be
due to Malala Yousafzai winning
Nobel prize • Afghan Taliban criticized ‘killing
of innocent children’ as against
principles • The massacre is the worst ever
in the deeply troubled region • After a nine-hour battle
Pakistani special forces killed all
seven terrorists. During this
witnesses described hearing
heavy gun fire and explosions. • The massacre was also said to
be an act of revenge against the
Pakistani army, which has been
attempting to suppress the
Pakistani Taliban in their north
Waziristan tribal homelands over the past few months. • A military source said that
seven army personnel, including
two officers, were wounded in
the fighting. • It appeared to be the worst
attack in Pakistan since a 2007
suicide bombing in the port city
of Karachi killed 150 people. some more pictures of families of the
victims….
