At least nine people were killed and dozens of others wounded when Taliban gunmen stormed a school in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar Friday, officials said. 

"We have received six dead bodies and 18 injured, two of them are in critical condition," a spokeswoman for the Hayatabad Medical Complex, Ishrat Bibi, told AFP.

Another government-run hospital, the Kyber Medical Complex, said it had received three dead bodies and was treating 20 injured people.
