Exactly. I thought so too. Not sure if true. 
The Pakistani Establishment will continue doing what it has been doing for the past three decades. Never mind what happened in Peshawar. For them it's business as usual. All this talk of Pakistan going after all terrorists is a lot of hot air. So, Pakistan will continue to stew in the terror cauldron they have made.
