Disturbing details of the final conversation between the Peshawar gunmen and their commanders have emerged where the Taliban terrorists can be heard telling their handlers that they have killed all the children.

According to The Independent, after slaughtering 132 school children and nine members of staff, militants contacted their commanders to say: "We have killed all the children in the auditorium. What do we do now?"

The conversation intercepted by officials revealed that one of the gunmen named Abuzar asked for further directions from his handler, who was later identified as Peshawar region's senior Taliban commander Umar Adizai.

In response, Umar tells him to wait for the army men and kill them before blowing himself up.

At least 141 people, including 132 children were gunned down in Pakistan on Dec 16 when nine Taliban terrorists attacked an army-run School in Peshawar.
