PESHAWAR: A student of the Army Public School succumbed to his injuries received in a deadly militant raid that killed over 140 people including 132 children two years ago, a private TV channel reported three days before the country marks the second anniversary of the attack.
Irshad Hussain was being treated at a hospital in Rawalpindi for the bullet wounds he received in the attack, according to the TV channel.
Pakistan launched National Action Plan as part of its efforts against terrorism following the attack. The country also decided to put an end to capital punishment, sending scores of convicts to gallows.
The government and opposition parties agreed to set up military courts for trial of hardcore terrorists to expedite campaign against foreign and local militants.
Six months before the APS attack, Pakistan had launched Operation Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan, killing hundreds of militants in aerial strikes and a major ground offensive.
The North Waziristan operation was launched after militants targeted Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport in a speculator attack that saw over two dozen people killed in June 2014.
