A Taliban attack on an army-run school in the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar left 141 people, mostly children, dead in the country’s most violent terrorist strike since at least 2007.
An army operation ended the assault about nine hours after it began yesterday with all seven terrorists dead, military spokesman Asim Bajwa told reporters in Peshawar. More than 121 people were injured and about 960 were rescued, he said.
