The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility, saying in a message from spokesman Mohammad Khorasani that they had targeted a safe house of the military's Inter-Services Intelligence agency. I got up and within seconds everybody was running and shouting 'the Taliban have attacked'," he said. The Pakistani Taliban later released a video showing the attack, recorded with what appeared to be a body-mounted camera. In December 2014, Pakistani Taliban gunmen killed 134 children at Peshawar's Army Public School, one of the single deadliest attacks in the country's history. The Pakistani Taliban are fighting to topple the government and install a strict interpretation of Islamic law.
