(20 Jan 2016) The United States is condemning in the strongest terms the terrorist attack at Bacha Khan Univeristy in Pakistan.
At least 20 people were killed and 23 were wounded Wednesday in the assault.
Deputy State Department Spokesman Mark Toner condemned the attack as targeting Pakistan's future generations.
Two teachers were among the dead, including a chemistry professor who was praised as a hero for shooting back at the attackers and allowing some students to escape.
A breakaway faction of the Taliban took responsibility for the university attack, although a spokesman for the larger Taliban organization, led by Mullah Fazlullah, denied having anything to do with it and called it "un-Islamic."
