The article discusses an attack on a school in Peshawar, Pakistan by the Pakistani Taliban terrorist group in December 2014 that killed at least 141 people including 132 schoolchildren, and injured dozens more. The Taliban said the assault was in response to government attacks earlier in the year on Taliban positions along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan. All seven attackers, who were armed with guns and explosives, were killed.
