Pakistani Terrorists had no intention of taking hostages (Asia News)



PESHAWAR - The terrorists who attacked a school in Peshawar, had 'no intention' of taking hostages, rather they wished to kill as many people as possible.
This was said by Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations Asim Bajwa during a media briefing in Peshawar on Tuesday night.
Bajwa described an assault that seemed designed purely to terrorise the children rather than take anyone hostage to further the militant group's aims.
"Their sole purpose, it seems, was to kill those innocent kids. That's what they did," he said.
He briefed the media with details about the attack carried out by terrorists on a Peshawar school and said that 141 people were killed in the atrocity.
The dead included 132 children and 9 staff members of the school.
