The Taliban believes the attack was justified, claiming their children and wives constantly are victims of governmental military operations.

MOSCOW, December 17 (Sputnik) - The Pakistani Taliban published pictures of the militants responsible for the cruel attack on the military-run school in Pakistan, the Independent reported on Wednesday.

In a statement made by the terrorist group, they claim that the school attack was justified because government military forces have been killing innocent family members of Taliban fighters. Its representative, Mohammed Khursani, warned of further attacks in the future and recommended people to steer clear of military facilities.

The photos released by Taliban members show six or seven men in front of a white flag, holding weapons.

Taliban militants posted the pictures of the attackers after images depicting destructed schoolrooms, with traces of blood on the floor and bullet holes in the walls, appeared online.

The Pakistani school massacre took place on December, 16 and claimed lives of 148 people, including 132 children. After the attack, Pakistani authorities lifted ban on the death penalty in terrorism cases, according to Rediff.
