14:17Now PlayingWe begin today's show in Pakistan, where people in the northwestern city of Peshawar are burying their dead after a Taliban attack at a school killed at least 145 people including 132 children in the Taliban's deadliest attack to date. According to the Pakistani army, Tuesday's attack was carried out by seven Taliban attackers against the Army Public School, which both military and civilian girls and boys attend. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has declared three days of mourning and convened a meeting of all parliamentary parties in Peshawar to discuss the response to the attack. The army has reportedly launched attacks at militants in the region. The Taliban said they targeted the children of military families in retaliation for Pakistan’s antiTaliban campaign in North Waziristan. We speak to BritishPakistani political commentator Tariq Ali and Asad Hashim, Al Jazeera English web correspondent in Pakistan.
