National Action Plan, a comprehensive strategy to eliminate terrorism in the country was put together after Taliban massacred over 140 people, mostly children in Army Public School in Peshawar on December 16, 2014.
Chief of Army Staff, General Raheel Sharif termed the attack a response against Operation Zarb-e-Azb in Waziristan and tribal areas.
He stated that the army anticipated a threat ever since the large-scale operation against organised terror network was launched in June 2014. The attack came within six months after the operation was launched.
National Action Plan called for close coordination among law enforcement agencies and intelligence authorities. It stressed registration of seminaries and taking note of credentials of clerics there along with students.
