PESHAWAR: Peshawar High Court judge Justice Muhammad Ibrahim Khan has been appointed as the chairperson of the commission to probe the Army Public School massacre, sources informed Geo News.
On December 16, 2014, terrorists stormed the army-run school and killed around 150 people, including more than 130 students, in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Pakistan's history.
The incident shook the country and resulted in the formation of a National Action Plan to stem extremism and terrorism from the country, as well as the creation of military courts to try 'hardcore' terrorists.
The heinous attack on schoolchildren followed intensification of the military's campaign against terrorists of all hue and colour, chasing and wiping them out from the country's urban centres to far-flung rural areas.
The commission has been established on the direction of the Supreme Court of Pakistan in a hearing before three-member bench chaired by the Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Saqib Nisar.
The commission will present its report before the Supreme Court within coming six weeks.
