| Pakistan parents mourning |
A shocked Pakistan on Wednesday began burying 132 students
killed in a grisly attack on their school by Taliban militants that has heaped
pressure on the government to do more to tackle the insurgency.
People across the country lit candles and staged vigils as
parents bade final farewells to their children during mass funerals in and
around Peshawar, the volatile city on the edge of Pakistan's lawless tribal
belt where the school was located.
Grief mixed with anger as people looked to the authorities -
long accused of not being tough enough on extremists - to stem spiraling
violence in a nation which has become a safe haven for al Qaeda-linked groups.
