Pakistan: Four terrorists on death row executed

Faisalabad, Dec 21 (IBNS): Pakistan on Sunday executed four Pakistani terror convicts on death row at a district jail in Faisalabad.

The four were identified as Zubair Ahmed, Rasheed Qureshi, Ghulam Sarwar Bhatti and Akhlaque Ahmed.

They  were all convicted for involvement in an attack on former Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf.

"The prisoners had to be shifted to a district jail under strict security measures because the lever which is used to open the trapdoor to carryout hangings was not present in the Central jail," Dawn News reported.

Security has been heightened in the city for the execution.

Following the deadly attack by Taliban militants in a Peshawar school on Dec 16  which killed 141 people, including 132 students, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifon Wednesday approved the removal of moratorium on death penalty.
