Graphic photos have emerged after taliban militants stormed Bacha Khan university in northwestern Pakistan today, killing at least 30 people and wounding dozens as the army hunted for any gunmen still holed up on the campus.
Many were apparently shot in the head execution-style as militants armed with AK-47 machine guns stalked the premises.
Victims included students, guards, policemen and at least one teacher, who was hailed a hero after firing back at the attackers to protect his students.
The militants, using the cover of thick, wintry fog, scaled the walls of the premises before entering buildings and opening fire on students and teachers in classrooms and hostels, police said.
