Death toll in Peshawar School attack reaches 141 – Afghan Taliban condemns the attack


#TotalCrackdown #PrayForPeshawar No one is safe any longer and terrorism continues to rear its ugly head from all corners of the world. In the Peshawar attack by Pakistan Taliban on innocent school children, 141 deaths have been reported and 132 of them are the children of the school who never understood what hit them. One moment they were bundles of joy, the next they were bits and pieces of flesh and bones.
The attack has been condemned by the Afghan Taliban.
The Peshawar attack was yet another terrorist attack that has left the world shocked, families in grief and no amount of condemnation can wipe out the tears from the faces of the parents who had to carry away coffins of their children. The attackers wore suicide vests and military uniforms all of seven of them have been killed.
Terrorism goes by any number of names like the Taliban, the al-Qaeda, the Boko Haram or the ISIS and due to their attacks, life is not safe anywhere, even for innocent children.
US President Barack Obama said terrorists had "once again shown their depravity" while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said it was "an act of horror and rank cowardice".
Pakistani Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai has said that she and millions of others would mourn the dead children, her "brothers and sisters" and added that "we will never be defeated". Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has termed it as a "national tragedy" and the Pakistani opposition leader and former cricket captain Imran Khan has condemned the attack as "utter barbarism" #PrayForPeshawar is the message.
