Four more hardcore militants are all set be hanged as Pakistan Army Chief Raheel Sharif on Tuesday signed the death warrants for them. It has come nearly one week after four men were hanged through a military court order for involvement in the Peshawar Army Public School attack.
A statement issued in Rawalpindi Today said the men were convicted for “slaughtering, suicide bombing, abduction for ransom and funding terrorists organisations”.
Four men, namely Noor Saeed alias Hafiz Sahib, Murad Khan, Inayatullah, Khakay Khan and Israruddin alias Abu Lais will be hanged, but did not provide further details on the cases against them.
Last week, the warrants of Maulvi Abdus Salam, Hazrat Ali, Mujeebur Rehman and Sabeel alias Yahya were signed by the army chief, and they were hanged days later in a Kohat jail. The men were convicted by a military court and hanged just days ahead of the first anniversary of the APS attack on December 16.
Political parties had unanimously agreed over the issue of setting up military courts to tackle terrorism cases in the country following the gruesome attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar in December 2014, following which the Parliament passed the 21st constitutional amendment in Jan 2015 to set up the said courts.
