Summary Seven terrorists attacked a school on Warsik Road early Tuesday.
PESHAWAR (Web Desk) – An eyewitness has told media that the terrorists involved in attack on Army Public School on Warsak Road in Peshawar looked foreigners, Dunya News reported.
“Dressed in shalwar qamees, having long beard, they were speaking Arabic,” a student told reporters.
He said that attackers came from backside of the building.
“First they opened aerial fire and then they started targeting students,” he added.
Pakistan s military headquarters said a "rescue operation" was under way and the bulk of staff and students had been evacuated.
The attack took place at a time when armed forces are clearing militant hideouts during ongoing operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan Agency.
More than 1,600 militants have been killed since the launch of Zarb-e-Azb in June, according to data compiled by AFP from regular military statements.
The semi-autonomous tribal areas that border Afghanistan have for years been a hideout for militants of all stripes -- including Al-Qaeda and the homegrown TTP as well as foreign fighters such as Uzbeks and Uighurs.
