Islamic
militants stormed Bacha Khan University in Charsadda on January 20,
killing students and teachers, and triggering a gunbattle that lasted
for hours. Lt. Gen Asim Salim Bajwa said Saturday that the suspects
provided the attackers with shelter, transport and weapons.
Bajwa said another three suspects, including two women, are still at large. A
splinter faction of the Taliban claimed responsibility and has
threatened similar attacks. However the main Taliban organisation denied
any involvement.
