"What terrible, heart breaking images of the attack in #Peshawar. Inhuman and barbaric don't even begin to describe the perpetrators," Omar tweeted.
Lashing out at the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan which has claimed responsibility for the attack, Omar said they have converted the school into a killing field.
"Schools are supposed to be places of sanctuary & today these Godless animals have converted one in to a killing field," he wrote on Twitter.Com.

"And to my fellow countrymen who say Pakistan got what it deserves - SHAME ON YOU. They are children likes yours and mine," he added.
Meanwhile, Omar's National Conference strongly condemned the attack on the army school in Peshawar.

"No religion especially holy Islam allows any such cowardly attacks on innocent people particularly women and children," Sagar said.
Sagar said our heart goes out to all the families who have lost their loved ones in today's terrorist attack.
