    Pakistan

    A new low ? Killing 100 children in an Army school. I thought the stoning of a pregnant woman by her own father and brother was bad but Pakistan never fails to amaze us.

    Can someone explain to me the motive of the Taliban in doing this, and what they hope will be their positive outcome?
    i.e. I assume they did it because of X and they're hoping for Y to be the result.

      It's in response to the Pakistani army fighting against the Taliban.

      The victims are children of Pakistani army soldiers as the target is an army school.

        Probably the same reason the Americans blew the ITC - keep the cauldron boiling...

          I assume they did it because it was an army run school, with presumably children of soldiers and they're hoping to discourage people from fighting against them by targeting their children.

          Pretty awful. But then it's not necessarily worse than us bombing German children in WW2.

              And those nuts in Bradford are still protesting against Gaza outside McDonald's in Thornbury

              Gaza protest is hitting restaurant staff in pocket, boss warns (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

              Wonder why you don't spot them when you talk about what the ISIS are doing in Middle east or the Taliban in Pakistan. Talking of unfortunate double standards ....

                Goes to prove that the biggest victims of terrorism are Muslims - daily massacres in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan. This is what they teach kids in Saudi schools and then our politicians sit there and shake hands with the government. I tell u that the fact our government turns a blind eye to Saudi means they are silent about the crimes committed due to their teachings.

                  On that basis why does it matter whether they are children or they are being killed in a car accident?

                    There are always civilian casualties in wars but we did not deliberately target children.
