Summary The three terrorists include Shafqat, Bahram and Al-Qaeda’s Zulfiqar Ali.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – Authorities of Karachi Central Jail today (Saturday) filed a request in the anti-terrorism court, seeking death warrants of three convicted terrorists.
The three terrorists include Shafqat, Bahram and Al-Qaeda’s Zulfiqar Ali.
Zulfiqar Ali was sentenced to death by an anti-terrorism court for murdering two policemen outside the US Consulate in Karachi. Another convict Shafqat had kidnapped a six-year-old child for ransom while Bahram was involved in the killing of a lawyer.
On December 17, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted a six-year moratorium on death penalty for those convicted for terrorism a day after the deadly attack on Army Public School in Peshawar that left 150 persons including mostly children dead.
Seven militants convicted of attacks on the Pakistan Army headquarters and former military ruler Pervez Musharraf have since been hanged.
