Mourning for the children of Peshawar

A Taliban attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Tuesday, left 132 children and nine school staff dead in one of the world's most horrifying acts of terrorism. Pakistan began three days of mourning on Wednesday for the victims, even as the world united in grief and revulsion. In Pictures.
