A deadly, hours-long siege of a school in northwest Pakistan ended Tuesday evening with all the Taliban militants responsible killed, at least 130 people -- most of them children -- dead and a country once again grasping for answers after a horrific attack.
Six suicide bombers scaled the walls of Army Public School and Degree College in the violence-plagued city of Peshawar around 10 a.m. (midnight ET) intent on killing older students there, according to Mohammed Khurrassani, a spokesman for the Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan, or Pakistan Taliban.
These Taliban had "300 to 400 people ... under their custody" at one point, Khurrassani said.

Has nothing to do with Islam, the religion of peace and protectors of women.
Just moozlums having “fun”. Typical. I wonder what Clown Prince nobama will do when that happens here. Maybe seize all TEA party individuals’ guns.
I guarantee you that if Bush had said the Taliban wasn’t our enemy, and this happened, EVERY NETWORK AND NEWSPAPER WOULD BE RIPPING THE WHITE HOUSE.
Please enlighten me, Why?
What outcome do these murderers hope to gain?
How can they possibly think that by murdering innocent babies it will help their cause?
Thanks in advance
God what have we done to deserve this scourge?
Has Obama ever said who our real enemy is? If it’s not the Taliban or Islam...must be him.
He is at least being consistent with this one since “O... Fails to Blame Taliban for Mass School Murder in Pakistan”
That is a rhetorical question, right?
Based on his actions and associations, I’d say he considers a little group called “We the People” to be HIS greatest enemy.
I think it as simple as a show of power (as in ‘we’re in charge’ and you’ll follow our rules) and, as a by product, making an example to those who would rebel. It’s difficult to enslave an educated population. The left does that here w/o physically cutting heads off.
Uh, it seems to me that they are the enemy of Pakistan or at least Pakistani schoolchildren, not us. If Pakistan wanted the Taliban gone they would be gone.
What has this got to do with us?
For reals, Pakistan? You haven't figured it out yet?
Don’t we deserve this as a people for the half-billion abortions we have patiently done?
I ask “Why there?, why not here?” We are the wealthiest and have killed so many for the most material of reasons.
Asking “why” people following islam do this is a waste of brain cells and breath. They just need to be scythed down like wheat until they noodle out that their continued actions will result in their extinction.
Grasping for answers in the quran is like gasping for air under the ocean.
A military source who spoke on the condition of anonymity told NBC News that the attackers were wearing police uniforms and suicide vests. “They burnt a teacher in front of the students in a classroom,” he added. “They literally set the teacher on fire with gasoline and made the kids watch.”
Some child hostages were thought to be held at gunpoint by militants in the school’s main auditorium. The military-run school has students in grades one through 10.
