LONDON: Boxer Amir Khan will donate a pair of E30,000 ($47,007) shorts to the Army Public School, Peshawar, where 132 children were killed by the Taliban earlier this week.

Khan wore the shorts, featuring a waistband made from 24-carat gold thread, in a decisive victory over American Devon Alexander in Las Vegas which helped him retain the World Boxing Council (WBC) silver welterweight title at the weekend.

`It was just very sad to see innocent kids being killed,` the Briton ofPakistani descent told BBC radio on Thursday.

`I can only imagine what the parents are going through.

`I want to donate the shorts for the Peshawar cause, rebuild a school and strengthen security around the area.

`We are very lucky in England. We have good security and I will be able to send my little girl to school and know she will be fine but in Pakistan you cannot do that,` said Khan.

`They send the kids outside the house and do not know if they are going to come back.`-Reuters
