Four terrorists executed in Pakistan

Four Taliban members convicted of terrorism-related offences were executed in Pakistan today, 10 May.

The alleged terrorists were hanged after being convicted by controversial military courts, taking the total number of executed terrorists to over 160 since the Peshawar terror attack in 2014.

The terrorists were involved in the killing of innocent civilians and attacking armed forces.

Those executed were identified as Qaiser Khan, Muhammad Umar, Qari Zubair Muhammad and Aziz Khan.

The jail where they were hanged was not identified.

It was not stated where the trial was held and when they were handed the death sentence because the military courts operate in secrecy due to fear of attacks by terrorists.
