PAKISTAN’S Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa today sanctioned death sentences for 15 “hardcore terrorists”, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a press release.
The convicted militants, the military’s media wing said, were involved in terrorism activities, including “attacks on armed forces and law enforcement agencies, destruction of educational institutions and killing of innocent civilians”.
Collectively, the terrorists were found guilty of killing 45 people, including four civilians and 41 security personnel and injuring 103 others, it added.
The ISPR further said that arms and explosives were also recovered from their possession, and that they all confessed to being part of proscribed organisations.
In addition to these militants, six other convicts were awarded imprisonment of varying periods by the military courts.
