The Peshawar school massacre that left 132 children and nine staff dead on Tuesday provoked horror and fierce international condemnation.
Leaders around the world, from Indian prime minister Narendra Modi to US president Barack Obama, condemned the attack. Pakistani Nobel peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai, who also survived a Taliban attack, said she was “heartbroken by this senseless and cold-blooded act of terror”.

Tehrik-e-Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for a ferocious army offensive called Zarb-e-Azb in tribal areas that has left an estimated 1,000 militants dead and tens of thousands displaced.
There is a very real danger of spiraling violence as the Pakistan military, with its reputation for ruthlessness, seeks revenge for the dead children of military personnel.
