The militants who stormed an army public school in Peshawar on December 16, 2014, and killed 150 people, including 132 students, were Pakistani, revealed military spokesperson Asim Bajwa earlier today.
Revealing details about the attack, DG ISPR said that 9 militants were killed, while 12 were arrested. Six of the 12 were arrested from Afghanistan. The remaining six militants are on the loose.
While addressing a press briefing in Islamabad, Bajwa said the attack was planned across the border in Afghanistan.
“The planning was done by Mullah Fazlullah and Aurangzaib alias Omar Amin,” he said.
Asif and Haji Kamran were later given the charge of the entire operation later, and went on to form two separate groups to execute the attack, added Bajwa.
Bajwa said coordination with the Afghan government had improved in recent months, and thanked the Afghan government to eliminate the communication gaps.
“The terrorists were initially taking advantage of the communication gap,” he said. “Now the coordination has improved. He added.
