Pakistani pupils recall narrow escapes, carnage in Taliban slaughter-Reuters-By Mehreen Zahra-Malik DEC 16,14-YAHOONEWS
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - It began like any other morning in Pakistan's Army Public School in the northwestern city of Peshawar. Students pored over their books. Teachers ruffled through their notes and gave lectures.In an instant, the peace was shattered - gunfire, smoke and dead bodies strewn across the school's halls and corridors, with crazed militants rushing from room to room shooting randomly at pupils and adults.At least 130 Pakistanis, most of them children, were killed in the broad daylight attack on the military-run school on Tuesday, an assault lauded by Taliban insurgents as revenge for the killings of their own relatives by the Pakistani army.Reuters interviews with witnesses showed most victims were shot in the first hours of the assault when gunmen sprayed the premises with bullets in an indiscriminate massacre.It was possible that some were also killed in the ensuing gunfight with Pakistani armed forces who stormed the building.The school in Peshawar, a Pakistani city on the edge of the country's turbulent tribal belt, is operated by the army. Although it enrols some civilian students, many of its pupils are children of army officials, the Taliban's intended target.The assault began at around 10 a.m. local time (12:00 p.m. ET)as a group of nine militants, suicide vests tightly strapped to their bodies, burst into the building, according to witnesses. Some said they were wearing Pakistani army uniforms.They bypassed the heavily guarded main entrance and slipped in through a less frequently used back entrance, the witnesses added.Shahrukh Khan, 15, was shot in both legs but survived after hiding under a bench."One of my teachers was crying, she was shot in the hand and she was crying in pain," he said as he lay on a bed in Peshawar's Lady Reading Hospital."One terrorist then walked up to her and started shooting her until she stopped making any sound. All around me my friends were lying injured and dead."
SUICIDE BOMBINGS
At least 500 pupils aged between 10 and 20 years old were inside the building when the attack started.As the gunfight between the Taliban and Pakistani forces intensified, at least three of the militants blew themselves up, resulting in several charred bodies of bombers and victims.A Reuters correspondent visiting the city's Combined Military Hospital said its corridors were lined with dead students, their green-and-yellow school uniform ties peeping out of white body bags.One distraught family member was given a wrong body because the faces of many children were badly burned as a result of the suicide bomb explosions.Khalid Khan, 13, told Reuters he and his class mates were in a first aid lesson in the main hall when two clean-shaven armed men wearing white clothes and black jackets entered the room."They opened fire at the students and then went out. The army doctor and soldiers managed to escape and we locked the doors from inside," he said. "But very soon they came, broke the doors and entered and again started firing."He said many tried to hide under their the desks but were shot anyway, adding that there were around 150 students in the hall around the time of the attack."They killed most of my class mates and then I didn't know what happened as I was brought to the hospital," said Khan, breaking down in sobs.Others said the gunmen addressed each other in a language they could only recognize as either Arabic or Farsi - a possible testament to the Taliban's network of hundreds of foreign fighters holed up with them in the remote mountains on the Pakistani-Afghan border.Another student, Jalal Ahmed, 15, could hardly speak, choking with tears, as Reuters approached him at one of the hospitals."I am a biochemistry student and I was attending a lecture in our main hall. There are five doors in the hall. After some time we heard someone kicking the back doors. There were gun shots but our teacher told us to be quiet and calmed us down."Then the men came with big guns."Ahmed started to cry. Standing next to his bed, his father, Mushtaq Ahmed, said: "He keeps screaming: 'take me home, take me home, they will come back and kill me'."One nine-year-old boy, who asked not to be named because he was too afraid to be identified, said teachers shepherded his class out through a back door as soon as the shooting began."The teacher asked us to recite from the Koran quietly," he said. "When we came out from the back door there was a crowd of parents who were crying. When I saw my father he was also crying."(Additional reporting by Amjad Ali in Islamabad Wrtiting by Maria Golovnina)
Lone wolf' Australian hostage-taker had violent, unsettled past-Reuters-By Matt Siegel-DEC 16,14-YAHOONEWS
SYDNEY (Reuters) - The self-styled sheikh behind a siege at a Sydney cafe had been charged as an accessory to murder and with multiple sexual offences. He also harbored deep grievances against the Australian government and had found little kinship in the city's large Muslim community, where he was seen as deeply troubled.Man Haron Monis, an Iranian refugee described by those who knew him as a loner, was killed early on Tuesday after heavily armed police stormed the Lindt Chocolate Cafe to end a 16-hour hostage drama that made global headlines.Last year Monis was charged as an accessory to the stabbing murder of his ex-wife, who was set alight in a Sydney apartment block. He was charged this year with more than 40 counts of sexual or indecent assault against women in Sydney, according to court documents.He was also found guilty in 2012 of sending threatening letters to the families of eight Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan and sentenced to two years in prison, although he served only a portion of that penalty.Those charges and the conviction, as well as public statements Monis made on his website, have raised questions in Australian media about whether authorities should have done more to monitor him.Prime Minister Tony Abbott told reporters that Monis was well known to police. When asked by a journalist whether it was appropriate for Monis to have been granted bail for the murder charge, New South Wales state Premier Mike Baird declined to comment.Monis's website, now taken down by authorities, painted a picture of a man unraveling, enraged by Australian courts and by perceived injustices against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan."Man Haron Monis ... has continuously been under attack & false accusation by the Australian government & media since he started his political letter campaign from 2007," Monis wrote on the website.He also railed against what he said was a decision by a court to prevent him from seeing his children."His children have been taken away from him by the Australian government and he is not allowed to visit or even call them," Monis wrote.
UNSETTLED LONER
Sydney-based criminal defense lawyer Adam Houda, who represented Monis over the letters sent to the soldiers' families, described him as a deeply unsettled loner, wholly apart from Sydney's tight-knit Muslim community."He was a very, very, very unusual guy, and he had no affiliations with any group. He operated alone. He was a lone wolf," Houda told Reuters.A source close to Sydney-based Islamists, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Monis did not belong to any local radical group and that leading figures held him in contempt.In December Monis seemed to suggest on his website that he had switched from Shi'ite to Sunni Islam, which would help explain media reports that he had demanded police bring a flag from militant Sunni Islamist group Islamic State to the cafe."I used to be a Rafidi, but not anymore," he wrote, using an Arabic word that can be translated as "heretic" and is sometimes used by Sunnis as an abusive term for Shi'ites."Now I am a Muslim," he added.Monis left predominantly Shi'ite Iran in the late 1990s after coming into conflict with authorities there, said lawyer Manny Conditsis, who represented him in the murder case.After receiving asylum in Australia in 2001, Monis obsessed about exposing violence against Muslim civilians abroad, Conditsis told Reuters.His website showed graphic images of children that he says were killed by U.S.-led coalition air strikes, as well as media coverage following his court appearances and statements addressed to the Muslim community and Abbott.
DEEP SCARS
He compared himself to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, saying he was being persecuted for his political beliefs."Since the Australian government cannot tolerate Sheikh Haron's activity, (it) is trying to damage his image by these false accusations," he wrote.While in prison Monis claims he was tortured, smeared with excrement and forced to sleep on a bare concrete floor, Conditsis said."I know that left quite deep scars for him," he said."If he had formed the view prior to this siege that he was going to inevitably go back to prison, whether he was guilty or not ... I can see that might have unhinged him."Despite the warning signs, police must focus limited resources on groups attempting to pull off major terrorist attacks, said Greg Barton, director of the Global Terrorism Research Center at Monash University in Melbourne.Barton said there was only a tiny category of people at any given time police can legally and financially justify keeping under surveillance."On the triage priority list, he would be well down that list," he said."I don't think it's a case of a failure or a mistake. I just think it's a case of the harsh reality of dealing with this kind of threat."Abbott seemed to confirm as much on Tuesday evening, when he told reporters that Monis had not been on any watchlist."Even if this individual had been monitored 24 hours a day, it's quite likely, certainly possible, that this incident could have taken place," Abbott said.(Additional reporting by Lincoln Feast and Swati Pandey in SYDNEY; Editing by Mike Collett-White, Paul Tait, Dean Yates and Will Waterman)
Body found near Pennsylvania home of Iraq war vet sought in deaths of family-Reuters-By Daniel Kelley-DEC 16,14-YAHOONEWS
EAGLEVILLE, Pa. (Reuters) - A body was found on Tuesday near the home of an Iraq War veteran suspected of fatally shooting six family members in Pennsylvania, a district attorney said.The Montgomery County district attorney did not immediately confirm media reports that the body was that of suspect Bradley William Stone, 35, of Pennsburg.Stone was being sought in the deaths on Monday of his ex-wife, her mother, grandmother, sister and two other family members, including his 14-year-old niece.The two-day manhunt prompted lockdowns and cancellations of schools around Pennsburg, about 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Philadelphia, where residents were advised to stay inside with their doors locked, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman told a news conference.Stone's 17-year-old nephew, Anthony Flick, was seriously wounded in the attacks and hospitalized in stable condition, Ferman said.Stone's daughters, ages 8 and 5, were safe. He had taken them from his ex-wife's house and left them with a neighbor on Monday, Ferman said. His current wife and infant child also were safe.The killings set off Pennsylvania's second recent high-profile manhunt after a seven-week chase to capture survivalist Eric Frein, 31, accused of killing a state trooper in September.Upper Perkiomen schools in the Pennsburg area were closed on Tuesday, the district said.Stone suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, the Bucks County Courier Times reported. He enlisted with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves in 2002, was deployed to Iraq and was honorably discharged at the rank of sergeant in 2011, according to military spokesman Captain Dustin Pratico.Autopsies were under way on Tuesday. A law enforcement source said some of the bodies had stab wounds, some gunshot wounds and some may have had both.Stone and his ex-wife, Nicole, 33, filed for divorce in 2009 and continued to have a custody battle. Stone asked a court on Dec. 5 to grant him custody on an emergency basis, according to court records.(Reporting by Daniel Kelley; Additional reporting by Mary Wisniewski; Editing by Ellen Wulfhorst, Eric Beech and Bill Trott)

He had taken them from his ex-wife's house and left them with a neighbor on Monday, Ferman said. His current wife and infant child also were safe.The killings set off Pennsylvania's second recent high-profile manhunt after a seven-week chase to capture survivalist Eric Frein, 31, accused of killing a state trooper in September.Upper Perkiomen schools in the Pennsburg area were closed on Tuesday, the district said.Stone suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, the Bucks County Courier Times reported. He enlisted with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves in 2002, was deployed to Iraq and was honorably discharged at the rank of sergeant in 2011, according to military spokesman Captain Dustin Pratico.Autopsies were under way on Tuesday. A law enforcement source said some of the bodies had stab wounds, some gunshot wounds and some may have had both.Stone and his ex-wife, Nicole, 33, filed for divorce in 2009 and continued to have a custody battle. Stone asked a court on Dec. 5 to grant him custody on an emergency basis, according to court records.(Reporting by Daniel Kelley; Additional reporting by Mary Wisniewski; Editing by Ellen Wulfhorst, Eric Beech and Bill Trott)
