Pakistan PM convenes all party meet Wednesday

In the wake of the Peshawar school attack, the meeting has been called to forge a renewed commitment to fight terror

IANS Islamabad

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif convened an all party meeting in Peshawar Wednesday to forge a renewed commitment to fight terror.

"Heads of all parliamentary parties have been invited for the meeting," Dawn online quoted Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid as saying.

"The conference has been called to obtain the support of all political forces in the war against terror," he said.

The Pakistani Taliban killed 148 people, 132 of them children, in a brazen terror attack launched by its heavily armed gunmen and suicide bombers on an army-run school in Pakistan's Peshawar city.

The Taliban said the attack was in retaliation to the army's operation against extremists in North Waziristan.
