[Fallen King]

TBH PTI and PMLN both were always in favor of talks with TTP and this mindset was from years. You can find Shehbaz/Nawaz statement on this issue from past too. Kiyani was a different type General i am happy we have someone like Raheel instead of Kiyani because Raheel is the one who love to take a stand Kiyani more cared about his image in public and he was afraid that an operation here will make him and army more unpopular and can backfire otherwise Pak Army was ready for this operation back in 2011.

You pick half. Let me go back to the beginning.

During COAS meeting, Nawaz Sharif met two offers; peace campaign with TTP [Architect by Imran Khan] and military operation campaign [Architect by General Kiyani]. Nawaz Sharif chose peace campaign at a time when peace campaign had popular support due to Imran Khan, hence the promotion of peace campaign started by PMLN after PTI.

General Kiyani might be silent man, but he had been advocating military operation for years.

let's leave this PMLN-PTI debate for some other time the jirga which govt formed for peace talks was another story. Coming back to General Kiyani i hope you have seen what his own DG ISPR Athar Abbas said?

http://tribune.com.pk/story/729499/kayani-delayed-the-operation-athar-abbas/

Some paragraph of this article:

“The army brass had decided in principle that preparations will be completed from 2010 to 2011 for an operation in North Waziristan which will kick off the same year,” Maj Gen (retd) Athar Abbas, the former director general of ISPR, told the BBC

However, he added that the then army chief, Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, was reluctant to give the nod for the operation. Abbas answered in the affirmative when asked if delaying the operation was a personal decision of Gen Kayani.

“Gen Kayani thought he would be held accountable for sending troops into North Waziristan. And that is why he dilly-dallied on the operation due to which we wasted too much time and suffered losses,” he added. “The country, its people, the government and the armed forces had to pay a heavy price for Gen Kayani’s hesitance.”

The delay in deployment, however, helped extremists strengthen their foothold, recruit more fighters, raise more resources and develop a network, “I think things have become quite complicated there [in North Waziristan],” Abbas said.

 

[Mamoon]

The kids who survived will be mentally scarred for life and will never forget this or be able to get over it. The fear will live inside their hearts forever.

Imagine being 10-15 years old and watching your friends die with gunshots right in front of your eyes by terrorists.

Brought tears to my eyes, must read. Beautifully written.


It was a bright and a very beautiful morning in the city of Peshawar. The mid-december brought with it really cold weather. The usual morning rush hour had started. Little kids carrying school bags which were bigger and heavier than themselves were coming out of their houses. They looked funny but cute. All the kids were wearing those warm woollen hats, gloves and warm jackets. Some were waiting for their vans alongside their parents and crying too. The mothers were , as always, persuading their kids to go to school. Their usual comforting line would be,” Beta, it’s gonna be fun, you’ll enjoy with your friends at your school, and while returning I shall prepare for you a delicious meal.” Some kids were comforted by this, while others were not. Everything seemed completely calm. The Warsak Street was filled with little and big feets making there way to their school, the ill-fated Army Public School. The kids were happily socializing and making plans for the soon-to-happen event which was supposed to be held at their school’s auditorium. Amongst the crowd was a young female, dragging her 8 year old son who did not want to go to school at all. Her mother approached the gate with her screaming little boy. He was wearing a green blazer, green pants along with a cute tie on the white shirt underneath his fine coat. His hairs were quite messy. Still yelling. His mother told him that he needs to be a good boy and go to school so that he can become an educated doctor and save lots of lives. Well, this comforted him… a bit. She bade him farewell and watched him disappear into the thick crowd of 500 students into his well-guarded school. Little did she know, this was the last time she saw her only son alive….

Can't stop tears. I am just watching my 3 year old sleeping in bed right now. I picked him up from his preschool and then saw this horrible news.

 

[90MPH]

Just saw some graphic photos of the terrorists sent to my phone.

Just impossible to tell from exactly what ethnicity they are from as some witnesses have suggested they were speaking Arabic.

Anyway hopefully we will get more news and information in the coming days regarding that and they catch the perpetrators who planned this attack.

It's a normal school not specially for cadets/training etc but the reputation of the school was very good they have branches in almost every known city of Pakistan.

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

it is a regular school guys (Army Public School)...the only difference is it is affiliated to the Army so basically most of the kids that go there are kids of Army personnel. They get discounted tuition there and the quality of education and infrastructure is top notch compared to government schools. I myself went to an Army Public School from grade 4 to 8, although I was from a civilian family so higher tuition.

 

[Mamoon]

http://tribune.com.pk/story/807768/...chest-osama-told-his-mother-that-he-was-fine/

The student, Osama, told The Express Tribune that his parents could not reach him, since they lived on Warsak Road, which had been blocked for all kinds of traffic. So he talked to them on the phone while avoiding detection from the militants.
“I told mama on the phone that I am safe and not hit, but I had received a bullet right in the chest.”
He added that his friends had been shot, some of them in the face.

Maybe they have studied in cadet college hassan abdal or miltary colleges etc? Because Army Public Schools and Fauji Foundation Schools are normal and the only difference is they come under army and a special discount is given to army kids otherwise they are same like normal school but quality of education is much better than normal govt school in pak

Well a cadet is someone who receives military training and education. Army Public Schools do no such thing so they are no cadets.
