Taliban Murders ...

(CNN) -- "'God is great,'" the Taliban militants exclaimed, as they roared through the hallways of a school in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Then, 14-year-old student Ahmed Faraz recalled, one of them changed the narrative.

" 'A lot of the children are under the benches,' " a Pakistani Taliban said, according to Ahmed. " 'Kill them.' "

By the time the hours-long siege at Army Public School and Degree College ended early Tuesday evening, at least 141 people -- 132 children plus nine school staff members -- were dead, military spokesman Gen. Asim Bajwa said. More than 100 were injured, many with gunshot wounds, according to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani.

The death toll does not include the attackers, who Pakistani Taliban spokesman Mohammed Khurrassani said scaled the school's walls around 10 a.m. (midnight ET), intent on killing older students there.

The Taliban had "300 to 400 people ... under their custody" at one point, said Khurrassani, whose group is called Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan, or TTP. But Bajwa said there was no hostage situation, as the attackers' focus was shooting to kill rather than taking captives.

I think its better to understand why the Taliban continue to kill "their" people.

This is very sad but you have to face facts, this is Pakistan's chickens coming home to roost. They have been playing a double game taking money from the USA and pretending to be an ally in the war against terror and yet they protected Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda leadership. They back the Taliban in Afghanistan and allowed the Taliban to use their territory to attack NATO troops.

I feel they want to attack education... Keep people illiterate easier to control of course now parents are going to be afraid of sending lids to school.

All the powers that be are afraid to restart war in afghanistan/Iraq and no one is willing to get involved in Syria/ISIS...because as they rightly assume the death toll would be huge as well as a long war...so perhaps the only way to fight these death crazy ppl is with ppl who equally laud shaheeds and laugh in the face of death...any ideas?
