Pakistan mourns after Taliban Peshawar school massacre

The Pakistani city of Peshawar has begun burying its dead after a Taliban attack at a school killed at least 132 children and nine staff. 





Mourners crowded around coffins bedecked with flowers, while other families waited at hospitals for news. 

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif declared three days of mourning and Pakistan's army struck at militants in the region. 

Mr Sharif also convened a meeting of all parliamentary parties in Peshawar to discuss the response to the attack. 

The meeting on Wednesday was called to show that the whole nation stood against extremism, Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid told reporters. 

World leaders voiced disgust at the Taliban's deadliest attack to date, which even its Afghan allies disowned. 

According to the army, Tuesday's attack was carried out by seven Taliban attackers, all wearing bomb vests.
