Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A school bus loaded with children came under rocket and small arms fire near Peshawar Tuesday, killing the driver and three children and injuring 16 others, police said.

The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan group claimed responsibility for the attack, according to the group's regional spokesman, Mohammad Talha, who said it was in response to growing support for local resistance groups against the Taliban in the region.

Attackers fired a rocket at the bus and then opened fire. Three of the wounded children have serious injuries, according to Rahim Jan Afridi, chief executive at Lady Reading Hospital.

The attack lasted about three minutes, said Naeem Khan, a teacher accompanying the students.

Similar attacks have occurred recently in the area, as locals have put up resistance to the Taliban, said Sajjad Khan, a local police official.

Talha said attacks on civilian targets would continue until residents end their resistance to the Taliban.

The new TTP tatic seems to be surrender or we will murder your children.

My heart goes out to the families affected by this senseless and tragic loss.

I pray for the murderous perpetrators, direct and indirect, to burn in hell for all eternity.

And still they pose to be true muslims? These people donot deserve any mercy. What about the friends suggesting negotiating with them?

What kind of people would attack school children? These are ruthless barbarians who have no regard for human lives. Aren’t these the same people who earlier kidnapped young boys while they were celebrating eid and enjoying the day together!

Children are the future of any nation, and these people who call themselves Taliban (students) kill to destroy the future of Pakistan. Is not their ideology to keep the coming generations illiterate so they do not question their evil agenda? The brand Taliban has been tried and tested and they have failed miserably. They were rejected by the people of Afghanistan and now by the people of Pakistan. Are they not desperate, striking innocent school children who are just dreaming of a bright and better future? These are not Taliban (students). They are illiterate goons who are out to destroy anything that is dear to the people of Pakistan and Afghanistan, and what can be dearer than their children?

We have to keep hitting them from all sides and make sure that they are not capable of hurting our children…our future! We must stand united against them, their violence, and their hate -- and defeat them.
