Does the Taliban attack in Peshawar school have any link to Malala’s Nobel Prize

#PeshawarAttack #PrayForPeshawar The massacre of 132 school children in the Army School in Peshawar by the Pakistani Taliban is being seen by many as a means of sending a strong message to the supporters of Malala Yousafzai who have grown in number after she received the Nobel Peace Prize.
It may be recalled that Pakistani Taliban had shot Malala Yousafzai in 2012 while on a school bus – it was a punishment to her for supporting education for women in Pakistan. But, she survived the attack and has, ever since, become a worldwide symbol for the fight against oppression on women and the right to education.
While accepting the award she had said that she would pursue her task of education of girls in her country and had also remarked that it is easy to make tanks but not to build schools.
Pakistan is having three days of mourning on for the children and school staff who were massacred by the Tehreek-I-Taliban in the country's deadliest ever terror attack. The world watched in horror, and united in revulsion.
The Pakistani police have issued a warning that terrorists could be planning to plant magnetic bombs on school buses and the authorities in Islamabad have asked schools to increase security and to check underneath buses and other vehicles. In view of the Peshawar attack, Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has reinstated the death penalty in terrorism cases.
