No words to describe the pain of innocent students heartlessly killed by the savage TTP monsters. We can only repay some of their sacrifices by eliminating the horrible monsters, for good.

This blood will always keep the financiers and sponsors of the attack restless till their last breath. I am talking about the hands that were behind it.

When I first heard the news, I felt like I was hit by a train. While wondering what type of humans would plan and do such a thing, the anger I felt towards them was intense. May such a horrific attack never occur again anywhere in the world.

Those killers still not charged must be presented before the military firing squad. All Pakistanis including parents of innocent students expect justice of this kind.
