Gunmen have stormed a college in the Pakistani city of Peshawar, killing at least nine people and injuring 36.<\/p>\n

At least three men disguised in burkas arrived in a rickshaw and entered the Peshawar Agriculture Training Institute on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

All of the attackers were also killed, the army said. The Pakistani Taliban said they had carried out the attack.<\/p>\n

The college was thought to have been closed for the Eid-e-Milad holiday.<\/p>\n

At least one blast was heard from inside the campus, according to media reports citing the military.<\/p>\n

Police and army commandos cordoned off the site.<\/p>\n

Eight students and an office worker were killed, police said.<\/p>\n

One wounded student, Ahteshan ul-Haq, told Reuters that about 120 out of nearly 400 college residents were present during the attack, as most had gone home for a long holiday weekend.<\/p>\n

“We were sleeping when we heard gunshots. I got up and within seconds everybody was running and shouting ‘the Taliban have attacked’,” he said.<\/p>\n

Peshawar, close to the Afghan border, has seen some of the worst violence during the Taliban insurgency in recent years.<\/p>\n

In 2014 Taliban militants attacked an army-run school in Peshawar, leaving 141 people dead in one of the worst assaults in the country’s recent history.<\/p>\n
