The Government of Sri Lanka has vehemently condemned Tuesday's terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar, that claimed over 140 lives and injured over 100 others.
"This dastardly attack reflects the brutality of the perpetrators particularly targeting school children. The brazen and inhumane manner in which this heinous attack was carried out at a seat of learning is particularly shocking," the Sri Lankan External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was quoted by Lanka Page, as saying that he was horrified by the tragedy.
"Horrified to learn of the Peshawar terrorist attack. Targeting of children is most cowardice. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pakistan. -MR," the President said on Twitter.
