“We owe it to our coming generations to eliminate this scourge of terror, for once and for all.”.-Pakistani Army Chief of Staff, General Raheel Sharif
Several photographs of children allegedly killed in a December 16, 2014 Taliban attack on the Pakistani Army Public School and Degree College in Peshawar include a familiar image of one “Noah Pozner,” the youth who was also purportedly shot to death on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut.

The above photo collage appeared at public memorials for the children and circulated thereafter in several foreign media outlets, including the BBC[2]. In the assemblage (bottom center) the Sandy Hook massacre’s Noah Pozner is the Pakistani Army Public School massacre’s “Huzaifa Huxaifa.”

“By the time the hours-long siege at Army Public School and Degree College ended early Tuesday evening,” CNN reported on Wednesday, December 17, “at least 145 people — 132 children, 10 school staff members and three soldiers — were dead, military spokesman Gen. Asim Bajwa said. More than 100 were injured, many with gunshot wounds, according to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province Information Minister Mushtaq Ghani. ‘They started shooting indiscriminately,’ Bajwa said, ‘and that’s where maximum damage was caused.’”[3]

CNN also played a central role in publicizing the Sandy Hook massacre. The emergence and apparent use of the well-known photo to memorialize the December 16 Taliban school attack victims calls into question the authenticity of both events.

The photos of Pozner and Soto also appear on the Pakistani Army Public School Peshawar Massacre Memorial Facebook page, which has received over 18,000 “Likes” as of January 2.
