Gulsher, 13, one of the youngest to die in Pakistan school attack

It’s been a horrific day for the students of the Army Public School in Peshawar city in Pakistan after armed Taliban terrorists stormed their school and took them hostage.

Hours after the attack, a list has emerged showing the names and ages of some of the victims of the brutal Taliban massacre at a school in Peshawar that has left at least 84 children dead.

The list, appearing to be from Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital, has become one of the few sources of information for those trying to find out parents waiting to hear news of their children.

Some of the victims are named with their ages, ranging from as young as 13, alongside but most are simply marked as “unknown”. 

A spokesperson for the Taliban told international media that suicide bombers had been sent into the school to target army personnel and were on orders not to harm young children.

The rescue operation continues, according to military sources, who said six attackers have been killed so far.
