At least 126 people were killed on Tuesday when Taliban gunmen stormed a military school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, Reuters reports. The militant group took hundreds of students hostage, and provincial information minister Mushtaq Ghani told the Associated Press that most of the dead in Tuesday's attack were children attending the school.
This is one of the bloodiest insurgent attack in to strike Pakistan in years. A military source told NBC News that "there were at least 10 attackers 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."
