At least 100 people, 80 of them children, have been killed in a Taliban assault on an army-run school in Peshawar, Pakistani officials say.<\/p>\n
Five or six militants wearing security uniforms entered the school, officials said. Gunfire and explosions were heard as security forces surrounded the area.<\/p>\n
The army says most of the school’s 500 students have been evacuated. It is not clear how many are being held hostage.<\/p>\n
A Taliban spokesman says the assault is in response to army operations.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of Taliban fighters are thought to have died in a recent military offensive in North Waziristan and the nearby Khyber area.<\/p>\n
A school worker and a student interviewed by the local Geo TV station said the attackers had entered the Army Public School’s auditorium, where a military team was conducting first-aid training for students.<\/p>\n
