Mrs Kazi, the principal of Army
Public School and College in Peshawar which was attacked by Taliban militants yesterday Dec. 16th was set on fire by jihadists who made her students watch her burn to death. The principal was reportedly targeted because she was married to retired army colonel
Another terrorist reportedly went into another classroom which had 60 students in it and blew himself up, killing most of the students. So far, 132 children have been confirmed dead in the massacre.
The insurgents were said to have had inside information before carrying out the well planned attack and there are people who believe the brutal attack was in revenge of Malala winning the Noble Prize while some say the school was attacked because the students aspired to be soldiers. See some harrowing photos from the aftermath of the massacre after the cut...
Shocking eye witness accounts of what happened...culled from UK Daily Mail
At first,
the children thought it was just a drill. Then the screaming began. As
the pupils poring over their books realised the bangs they could hear
were the sounds of guns fired in anger, panic spread.
As Pakistani special forces engaged the attackers, harrowing eyewitness accounts of the massacre emerged from survivors.
By
10.15, at least 60 pupils were already dead as hundreds of Pakistani
soldiers poured from lorries to seal off the area and take the battle to
the Taliban fighters, all of whom were wearing suicide vests.
One
15-year-old student Shahrukh Khan, who was shot in both legs, told how
he hid under a bench and played dead to avoid being killed by the
insurgents.
Speaking
from his bed in the trauma ward of the city's Lady Reading Hospital,
the teenager told how he even shoved a tie in his mouth to stop him from
screaming out in fear of the gunmen.
Khan
described how, after they burst in shouting 'Allah-o-Akbar' - which
means 'God is greatest' - one of them shouted: 'There are so many
children beneath the benches, go and get them'.
He
said: 'I saw a pair of big black boots coming towards me, this guy was
probably hunting for students hiding beneath the benches.'
Khan said he felt searing pain as he was shot in both his legs just below the knee.
He decided to play dead, adding: 'I folded my tie and pushed it into my mouth so that I wouldn't scream.
'The man
with big boots kept on looking for students and pumping bullets into
their bodies. I lay as still as I could and closed my eyes, waiting to
get shot again.
'My
body was shivering. I saw death so close and I will never forget the
black boots approaching me -- I felt as though it was death that was
approaching me.'
Khan
told how he tried to get up, but fell because of his injuries.
Desperate to escape to safety, he crawled into the next room, where he
the body of the school's office assistant body on fire.
He said: 'She was sitting on the chair with blood dripping from her body as she burned.'
Khan,
who said he also saw the body of a soldier who worked at the school,
then crawled behind a door to hide, where he lost consciousness.
He added: 'One of my teachers was crying, she was shot in the hand and she was crying in pain.
'One
terrorist then walked up to her and started shooting her until she
stopped making any sound. All around me my friends were lying injured
and dead.'
A
10-year-old boy caught up in the massacre also spoke of his dramatic
escape from Taliban gunmen as bullets whizzed past his head - having
seen two of his classmates shot dead in front of him.
Irfan Shah told how he was sitting in his class at 10:30 when he heard the sound of firing outside.
Shah
told MailOnline: 'It was our social studies period. Our teacher first
told us that some kind of drill was going on and that we do not need to
worry. It was very intense firing. Then the sound came closer. Then we
heard cries. One of our friends open the window of the class.
'He started weeping as there were several school fellows lying on the ground outside the class.
'Everybody was in panic. Two of our class fellows ran outside class in panic. They were shot in front of us.'
He said that the teacher asked the children, part of a class of 33, to run towards the back gate of the school.
He said: 'I
heard about it around 11 at my college. Then my uncle gave me a call and
asked me to reach the school to check the whereabouts of my young
cousins. One is seven and other is nine. It took me more than 45 minutes
to reach the spot as army closed down all the roads and streets leading
to school.'
He said that went to the main gate of the school around 12:30.
He
continued: 'I saw a few soldiers trying to encircle a young man who was
wearing a similar uniform to them. When soldiers tried to approach him,
there was a huge blast. The other guy was one of the terrorists. This
was such a horrible scene.
'For
a few moments, I couldn't understand what was going on. I saw his body
parts flying in the air after the blast. One of the soldiers was badly
injured.'
Khan also saw terrorists firing indiscriminately in the class rooms on the second floor of the building.
He said: 'It
is a huge double story building. I saw a terrorist getting into a
classroom and firing like anything. Then I heard the cries and most of
those crying became silent after a few minutes which means either they
died or fainted.'
A soldier told him that the kids who had successfully managed to get out of school were in a nearby park.
He
added: 'I went there but couldn't find my cousins among those kids. A
soldier on told me that they might have died in the attack. I could not
even imagine that. After, a few minutes I saw the elder one coming
towards the park. I was never so happy and relieved to see him. He was
weeping and shivering with fear. I held him to my chest. It was great
feeling.
'Five
minutes after him, my younger cousin also appeared. I lost my senses in
happiness after seeing him. Our family is blessed. I saw mothers and
fathers crying like mad at the gate of the school. I do not believe that
we are so blessed.'
Mohammad
Muneeb told how his 14-year-old brother Muhammad Shaheer was shot dead
in front of him as 200 children sat in an auditorium, getting training
in first aid.
'Two
guards were there, sitting on the desk at the front, when four people
wearing black uniform ran in. They just started firing. First they
targeted the brigadier and his guards, the two guards were killed.
'The brigadier managed to get away safely and they started firing at the students.
'I saw my own brother die, he was shot in the throat.'
A
school volunteer who did not want to be named described the auditorium
shooting: 'I was working with the other organisations. What I saw was
indescribable. I was in the auditorium when they burst in, it was 1030
when they broke in to the school. There was a function in the
auditorium, they just opened fire on everyone. They just started firing
and shooting violently with AK47s.
'There was around 200 children in the auditorium, all boys.'
Father
Muhammad Dahir, a computer engineer, said: 'I am so sad, I cannot
explain my feelings. I cannot speak. There are dead bodies everywhere.
This city is filled with dead bodies. I cannot explain my feelings. What
kind of horror are we involved in? We are in the frontline here.
Everyone is pushing us, the Americans, our own government.'
Pharmacist
Ahmed Salman, whose 15-year-old son was killed, said: 'I took my son to
school this morning and I was at work when someone told me there was
firing in the school. I went there and saw children being taken out in
ambulances. I was searching but I could not find him. My younger brother
called me and told me that Ahmed's body was lying in the mortuary of
the military hospital.
'He had a bullet in his lungs.'
Mudassar
Abbas, a physics laboratory assistant at the school, said some students
were celebrating at a party when the attack began.
'I saw six or seven people walking class-to-class and opening fire on children,' he said.
Mudassir
Awan, an employee at the school, said he saw at least six people
scaling the walls of the building, but initially thought little of it.
'We thought it must be the children playing some game. But then we saw a lot of firearms with them,' he said.
'As
soon as the firing started, we ran to our classrooms. They were
entering every class and they were killing the children,' he added.
One
of the wounded students, Abdullah Jamal, said he was with a group of
8th, 9th and 10th graders who were getting first-aid instructions and
training with a team of Pakistani army medics when the attack began.
When the shooting started, Mr Jamal, who was shot in the leg, said nobody knew what was going on in the first few seconds.
'Then
I saw children falling down who were crying and screaming. I also fell
down. I learned later that I have got a bullet,' he said, speaking from
his hospital bed.
'All the children had bullet wounds. All the children were bleeding,' he added.
Akhtar Ali, who works out for the UN, was weeping outside the school.
He
told MailOnline: 'My 14-year-old niece Afaq is inside the school. I
don't know if she is alive or dead. I am desperate. I am just waiting in
hope. It is agony. '
'My
son was in uniform in the morning. He is in a casket now,' wailed one
parent, Tahir Ali, as he came to the hospital to collect the body of his
14-year-old son, Abdullah.
'My son was my dream. My dream has been killed.'
MailOnline
spoke to Naveed Ahmed, who works at the irrigation department. He said:
'My son Hasid Asmad is 16-years-old, is still inside the school., He
took a mobile and called me while I was in the mosque, he was praying
down the phone. I have been waiting so many hours for news. My son told
that he was being kept safe by the Pakistan army inside. They are taking
a picture of them to prove they are safe.
'They have told me that the children are safe in the custody of the army.'
Mrs
Humayun Khan, one of the mothers of a student, said with tears in her
eyes: 'No body is telling me about my son's whereabouts... I have
checked the hospital and he is not there. I am really losing my heart.
God forbid may he's not among the students still under custody of
terrorists.

Hope you all see that these Muslims can actually go out and kill fellow Muslims... So those of you that want to believe that bombing of central mosque in kano was not by these same Muslims you had better think twice....
Mind you not all Muslims ate terrorist.. BUT there is definitely something in that quran...that they are twisting.... And remember mohammad also twisted the old testament or rather explain it in his own understanding....
My Muslims brothers and sisters the moment you agree that these terrorist are Muslims that have twisted ya holy book would be the beginning of a turn around....instead of screaming they are not Muslims teach ya children the right way so they won't grow up and bomb them selves in the name of allah..... The Allah I know true Muslims worship won't support killings...allah with small letters is the one ya terrorist muslims brothers worship the one that promises sexual orgies in heaven for who so ever kills another...be warned
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm is all I can say. cnt just imagine dis, so o SAD. GOD HV MERCY.
God! Tears dropping and so emotional on this story. God what sort of religion is this? Killing fellow human all in the of serving God!!
I thank God that I am a Christian , a religion that is pure, accommodating ,teaching the right precepts of life.
Only the name of Jesus Christ is the religious leader that His name is used to raise the dead.
Please the U.N. U.S. E.U & Asian bodies should condemn such religion and religious bloody actions. A group of people can't hold the world to ransom. See everywhere in the whole world, just a sect terrorising everywhere and what the U.N. are busting doing is chasing shadows, any way I believe that organisations has Bern biased with many of the cohorts of this sect integrated in to it.
I just pray God Almighty should continue protecting His children & wish these people should be properly destroyed because they are just a sect not a government.
See Saudi Arabia the head of their religion , peace is everywhere but just people who are ignorant will continue to destroy what they have for their so-called religion. They should first use their headquarters as an example.
Am sorry to say it but I hate any religion who believe in shedding a human blood whether it's a good or bad act. Leave the law to take it course, that's why we are under law. Fortunes4ebzy@gmail.com
Who kills children....please tell me...what kind of a man can look at a child..and shoot? Islam is not being represented well at all..it is quickly being turned into a religion of extreme satanism. I do not know if I can truly associate myself with a religion that is now characterized by extreme acts of demon possession. And the kind of people we have lurking around nowadays tho....
