PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN – Reports have surfaced that Taliban terrorists entered a school in Pakistan and murdered over 140 people, most of them children.

According to U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, “In Pakistan, more than 100 children were massacred at their desks by Taliban terrorists who wanted to inflict the maximum pain on the civilian population.”

The BBC reported that “Bodies have been carried out of hospitals in coffins, escorted by crowds of mourners, some of them wracked by tears.”

“These attacks may be distant on a map, but should be at the forefront of our minds. Terrorism knows no borders,” Cruz continued. “And, strong American resolve is needed to help our friends and allies around the world to stop it.”

The U.S. Department of Defense issued a statement:

“… extend our deepest condolences to the people of Pakistan following today’s ruthless attack on the army public school in Peshawar. This heartless slaughter of over 100 innocent students and teachers was an act of pure cowardice. The United States remains committed to supporting Pakistan in its efforts to combat extremism and ensure stability in the region. As we stand firm with the Pakistani people and military in their fight against terrorists, we also honor their sacrifices, and join the victims’ families and loved ones in their mourning.”

There were 9 terrorists involved, and all have been killed.
