Pupils and teachers return to a school in the Pakistani city under heavy security nearly a month after Taliban militants killed 150 people. Access to the school is tightly controlled, with army soldiers standing guard with Helicopters flying around the school. Pakistani officials say the attack is now over, with all of the attackers killed. A total of seven militants took part, according to the army. Scores of survivors are being treated in hospitals as frantic parents search for news of their children. The attack is the deadliest ever by the Taliban in Pakistan. There has been chaos outside hospital units to which casualties were taken, the BBC's Shaimaa Khalil reports from Peshawar.(BBC)
