Gunmen Storm Univerity of Pakistan

A Taliban commander has claimed responsibility for an attack in which at least 19 people died at a university in Pakistan.
Four of the attackers are known to have been killed at the campus building in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, in the country's northwest.
Militants wielding AK-47s used a cover of thick, wintry fog to scale the walls of the Bacha Khan University in the town of Charsadda, about 30km (18 miles) from the city of Peshawar.
They then went into university buildings and began to open fire on teachers and students in classrooms before engaging in a three-hour gunbattle with police and soldiers.
Explosions were heard inside and TV pictures showed heavily armed security personnel heading into the compounds as female students ran for their lives.
