London: Education campaigner and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai on Tuesday condemned the attack on schoolchildren in Pakistan as a "senseless and cold-blooded act of terror".

"I am heartbroken by this senseless and cold-blooded act of terror in Peshawar. I condemn these atrocious and cowardly acts, and stand united with the government and armed forces of Pakistan," Malala said in a tweet.

"Innocent children in their school have no place in horror such as this. I condemn these atrocious and cowardly acts and stand united with the government and armed forces of Pakistan whose efforts so far to address this horrific event are commendable," she added.

Malala is herself a survivor of a similar attack when she was shot in the head by the Taliban in her native Pakistan two years ago. She was attacked for taking up the cudgels for girls' right to education.

The 17-year-old activist, who now lives in Britain, was awarded the Nobel peace prize this year for her global campaign on education.

"I, along with millions of others around the world, mourn these children, my brothers and sisters - but we will never be defeated," Malala said.
