Stories of love and courage from APS
Months before the attack, 16-year-old Taimoor Malik participated in a skit which illustrated a terrorist attack at the school. Playing the role of an army major, he was killed fighting militants.
The day of the horrific attack, his classmates say Taimoor died just as heroically.
Taimoor is just one of the 131 students killed in the December 16, 2014, attack on Peshawar's Army Public School (APS). There were many who faced a similar fate, with the entire nation sharing the pain of the tragedy.
