Four militants executed in Pakistan

Faisalabad, Dec 22 (IBNS): Pakistan on Sunday executed four more militants putting an end to the six-year-old moratorium on death penalty, media reports said.

The execution took place following the recent Taliban attack that killed 149 people, most of them school children.

Reports said Ghulam Sarwar, Rashid Tipu, Zubair Ahmed and Akhlaq Ahmed were hanged for an assassination attempt on General Pervez Musharraf.

Earlier, Pakistan’s military chief had signed the death warrants for the six militants on Thursday.

The government ended the moratorium on capital punishment on Wednesday for terror-related cases following Tuesday’s Taliban rampage on an army run school, sources said.
