Taliban Slaughters School Children in Pakistan

Considering everything that Pakistan has done for terrorist groups, this is a hell of a way to show gratitude.

From Fox News.

Pakistanis mourned as mass funerals got underway Wednesday for 142 people, most of them children, killed the day before in a massacre by the Taliban at a military-run school in the country’s troubled northwest.

Prayer vigils were held across the nation and in other schools, students spoke of their shock at the carnage in the city of Peshawar, where seven Taliban gunmen, explosives strapped to their bodies, scaled a back wall using a ladder to get into the Army Public School and College in the morning hours on Tuesday.

Students were gunned down and some of the female teachers were burned alive. The attack was the deadliest slaughter of innocents in the country and horrified a nation already weary of unending terrorist assaults. Army commandos fought the Taliban in a day-long battle until the school was cleared and the attackers dead.

The government declared a three-day mourning period, starting Wednesday. Overnight, the body of the school principal, Tahira Qazi, was found among the debris from the rampage. Her death raised further the earlier reported death toll of 141.

Some of the funerals were held overnight, but most of the 132 children and 10 school staff members killed in the attack were to be buried Wednesday. Another 121 students and three staff members were wounded.

……The Taliban said the attack was revenge for a military offensive against their safe havens in the northwest, along the border with Afghanistan, which began in June.

The Taliban shitbags also said it was revenge for Malala Yousafzai’s Nobel peace prize. She is the young woman who was shot by practitioners of the wonderful religion of Islam for daring to step out of her proscribed role as a muzzie doormat and becoming an outspoken advocate for girl’s education in Pakistan. Many of the students and the teacher were females, which doesn’t sit very well with fetid Islamic zealots.
