Najib condemns Taliban attack on Pakistan school

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia condemned the Pakistan school attack that killed 141 people, most of them children, yesterday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak tweeted "Malaysia condemns in the strongest terms the Pakistan school attack" last night.

Pakistan Taliban claimed responsibility for the massacre that occured at an army-run school.

More than eight hours after militants entered the school compound, the military declared the operation to flush them out over, and said that all nine insurgents had been killed.

The attack at a military-run high school attended by at least 500 students, many of them children of army personnel, struck at the heart of Pakistan’s military establishment, an assault certain to enrage the country’s powerful army.
