Game let players fight Taliban gunmen who attacked Peshawar school in 2014 and was released as part of peace campaign
A gory video game set inside the Pakistani school where more than 130 children were massacred by Taliban gunmen has been withdrawn, weeks after it was released as part of an army-backed campaign to promote peace and tolerance in the country.
Players of Pakistan Army Retribution take the role of a soldier attempting to "protect precious lives from terrorists" who attacked the Army Public School (APS) in Peshawar in December 2014.
