148 dead after Taliban massacre at Army Public School in Peshawar

[Aman]

What a sad day.

Pakistani's can't afford these losses to be in vain, some good has to come out of this. Why are you letting these monsters live in your country in the first place?

 

[Red Devil]

This is depressing.

These cowards deserve to rot in hell forever.

May Allah SWT give strength and sabr to the families of all the victims.

Shocking. Where is the army and other security departments? They should have been taken care off as soon as they held the people hostage. It's time for army to arrest their supporters, especially the lal masjid moulvi and send them to some other planet.

 

[blinding light]

I am absolutely gutted - honestly I have no words!!

I hope [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] and [MENTION=130409]Ibad17[/MENTION] are okay!

This..

 

[OZGOD]

Heartbreaking seeing the photos of these kids

[QazzarFan]

How the hell did they escape? I thought the school was surrounded?

The one "positive" that may come out of this (and calling it a positive after such a tragic event feels wrong) would be that, if anything gets the entire public behind massacring the TTP it'll be this tragedy. No one can justify letting them exist now surely??

It's the extremist molvis and madarsas who are giving shelters and support to these terrorist.

The moderate and patriotic Pakistani's doesn't support them.

That's the problem. Ban them all. And then destroy those that exist.

What kinda ****bags feel its acceptable to attack a school, no matter what their problems are

 

[OZGOD]

I hope some of the terrorists are captured alive and forced to stand trial for their crimes.

They won't be, they will probably detonate themselves or the miltary will execute them before a mob does

This is the most horrific crime you can commit according to me. Why did they target children?

I was few Km away from the blast and believe it or not it felt like an earthquake. Enormous blast

May these terrorist rot in hell. I wish and pray their life becomes hell, may they receive all the pain and suffering in the world. Which God allows the killing of innocent kids. My religion is being made fun of because of these animals.

YA ALLAH MADAD

They claimed that Army killed their children so now they're returning the favour.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Stand trail ?, keep them away from the courts. If they are captured they should be kept alive purely for torture purposes, mutilate their body bit by bit, cut of pieces from the body bit by bit, keep them alive for as long as you can and make them feel the pain that they beg to die but only death is so so so sooooooooooooooooo far away and hurt them as brutally as you can absolutely show no mercy...................

It is shocking how these terrorists have managed to infiltrate an army-run school, one of Peshawar's biggest schools. These Taliban animals have no shame.

Mate. They deserve to die the most painful death ever. Execute them.

This is beyond brutal for parents.. one cant even begin to fathom..... such senseless killing..

Mate. They deserve to die the most painful death ever. Execute them.

Death is exactly what they want. They need to kept alive and reminded everyday, they are worst thing to ever take form on this earth.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

In a telephone call to CNN, a spokesman for the TTP, who identified himself as Mohammed Khurrassani, claimed that six suicide bombers entered the school compound with orders to kill older students. He added that "300 to 400 people are under custody of the suicide bombers" and that they are in contact with them

Does anyone know if this is true, if all the pictures are of young kids fleeing schools, does that mean they have only targeted older kids, and does that make it any better

If they were meant to only target older kids but young kids got attacked too , will it makes them feel better, knowing they got the older students too
Will the young kids be collateral damage, in this operation for them

The canal road and warsak road do have check posts. Except for the graveyard area (behind the school) all the other areas are somewhat protected. The graveyard area (where afghan mohajir lives) dosen't have any protection

 

[Sam18696]

Operation in its last phase.

I swear the news anchorman is going to cry.

there was an ARY news anchor , who just lost two of her cousins and she was in tears, but still reporting :\\\\

Where the hell these monsters have come from. Innocent kids of all the people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am absolutely shocked to see the pictures live on TV with some one screaming "Khuda se daro". Surely this kind of act is beyond any relegions and definitely this will not be made fun. I Could not control my tears as I saw those pictures..... 100s of Kids....

Its a sorry state of humanity.

Some could have used the same argument behind the ttp targeting army schools, the same way madrasahas are targetted by drones

Violence begets violence, Pakistan got themselves into this sorry mess, when they attacked afg and the nwfp at america's behest after cuddling up to the same people during the afghan war

Since then, it's been *** for tat, with kids being the unfortunate and innocent victims

 

[AZ]

Absolutely shattered and grief-stricken, one of the darkest days in Pakistan's history.

There can be no dialogue, no negotiation, no appeasement with these savages...they need to be exterminated without mercy, once and for all.

 

[OZGOD]

I think this is one of the worst terrorist incidents yet - probably the worst since Beslan in Russia when Chechen terrorists took 1000 people hostage, most of them kids. There's a special hell for people who hurt children. Those photos of those bewildered kids in their school uniforms, holding each others' hands, broke my heart.

I want to hear from the mouths of these terrorists, why they killed children. How does anything that has been done to them justify killing children. I want them put on trial so the world can see.

 

[Sakss]

Terrorists escaping. For God's sake capture them and torture them until they give some info.

How on earth can they be allowed to escape...

Cant see this happening. Oh God, pls help those innocent souls.

I don't think anyone for a second believes that these terrorists represent Islam in any way shape or form. No religion condones the killing of children. These people are using your religion to justify their mass murder of innocents. They don't represent Islam the way I have learned about Islam on this forum.

I think this might prove to be the tipping point that finally turns public opinion in Pakistan solidly and firmly against these murderers.

 

[AlCapone]

They attacked the school cause it was run by the army, so they see these kids as enemy combatants and according to some reports I've read, they've been instructed to kill any male 12 years and older

Look at the faces of these kids. They'll never be able to forget this ever. The psychological scars will be there forever.

That said, it's about time the Pakistani establishment realizes that there are no Good Taliban or Bad Taliban. Or for that matter, terrorists cannot be strategic assets of any kind. Just go ahead & execute them. If need be, take the help of other countries but this needs to be stopped.

 

[adarsh_bang]

Sinking feeling in my heart as i type this. This is terrible. These animals do not deserve any mercy.
100 + little kids?
heart wrenching to think of the parents who've been informed of this, rush to school to see their dead children.

May Allah destroy the perpetrators, the terrorists.
This is absolutely inhuman. What did little kids do?

What a terrible time to live. Uncertainty, hatred, lack of trust, pain and death everywhere. Yesterday it was Sydney, Today it is Peshawar. The worst time to live. End of times. Qayamah is near i suppose. This must be Harj.

Are these kinds of acts of terrorism are justified for any reasons?
There are many kinds of injustices done in the world, but why innocents have to pay price for them?

 

[OZGOD]

According to CNN, looks like they timed their attack for when there was an event happening at the school, so all the kids would be in one place to make it easier to inflict casualties

Just got home, was stuck in a 3 hour traffic jam. All roads are blocked and the worst part is that even ambulances and army commandos can't get there.

Have nothing to say, this is just sick.

So an enemy combatant is a 12 year old kid?

Gut-wrenching and unprecedented. We need to "cordon off" KPK from tribal areas a la Kashmir in India. These tribal animals have sheltered these terrorists for far too long. They need to be held accountable.

Just found out about the two sons of our distant relatives whose whereabouts are still not known. The school is sealed and a lot of dead bodies are not identifiable at this point.

They are 12 and 9 year old respectively, Hamza and Bilal.

Like Beslan, it seems like a statement being made. Trying to convince the people the government are useless and unable to protect their own, what chance of you being saved.
