Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel sent condolences to his counterpart in Pakistan yesterday. “I extend our deepest condolences to the people of Pakistan following today’s ruthless attack on the army public school in Peshawar. This heartless slaughter of over 100 innocent students and teachers was an act of pure cowardice,” said Hagel. The United States remains committed to supporting Pakistan in its efforts to eradicate the Taliban.
