Photos: Expert claims #PeshawarAttack could be revenge attack for Malala Yousafzai's Nobel Prize

A teacher is believed to have been burned alive while her pupils were forced to watch as Taliban gunmen stormed a school in Pakistan in an apparent revenge attack for Malala Yousafzai winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Seven Taliban terrorists attacked the Army Public School in the north-western Pakistani city of Peshawar yesterday, slaughtering 132 children in the deadliest terrorist attack in the nation's history.

Harrowing eyewitness accounts revealed how students were forced to watch as bodies were burned beyond recognition.

Other survivors told how they played dead while insurgents scoured the school looking for children to shoot, before open fire indiscriminately - sometimes with smiles on their faces.

During a three-hour orgy of bloodshed, seven jihadists claimed at least 141 lives before themselves being killed. 

Now one expert has claimed that the horrific events which unfolded yesterday could have been in retaliation to 17-year-old Malala winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

The massacre was also said to be an act of revenge against the Pakistani army, which has been attempting to suppress the Pakistani Taliban in their north Waziristan tribal homelands over the past few months.
