At least 132 students and nine staff members were killed Dec. 16 after Taliban gunmen broke into a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar and opened fire, witnesses said, in the bloodiest massacre the country has seen for years.

More than eight hours after the attack began, the army declared the operation to flush them out over, and said that all nine insurgents had been killed.

One survivor of the military-run high school, Shahrukh Khan, 15, who was shot in both legs, said: “All around me my friends were lying injured and dead.” (Reuters)
