Pakistan Taliban kill at least 19 as they storm university
None
Taliban militants stormed a university in volatile northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing at least 19 people and wounding dozens a little more than a year after the massacre of 134 students at a school in the area, officials said.
The attack showed the Islamist militants retain the ability to launch attacks, despite a country-wide anti-terrorism crackdown and a military campaign against their strongholds along the lawless border with Afghanistan.
A security official said the death toll could rise to as high as 40 at Bacha Khan University in Charsadda in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The army said it had concluded operations to clear the campus six hours after the attack began and that four gunmen were dead.
