BBC: Analysis on Taliban school attack

Americans woke up Tuesday to the news that Taliban militants attacked a government-run military school in Pakistan.

The death toll reached 141 people by morning, with most of the victims being children.

The Taliban has long been in a threat in Pakistan, but this is being called one of the deadliest incidents in the country’s history. 

The BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones provides analysis on the situation.
