Pakistan executes 3 hardcore terrorists
The Pakistani army
Islamabad - Arab Today
The Pakistani army said on Thursday that three more terrorists were hanged for their involvement in terrorism, after four were hanged on Wednesday.
"Today another 3 hardcore terrorists, who were tried by military courts have been executed. These terrorists were involved in committing heinous offenses relating to terrorism, including killing of innocent civilians, attacking armed forces of Pakistan and law enforcement agencies," an army statement said.
All the convicts were active members of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan and were tried in the military courts.
The convicts had admitted their offenses before the magistrates and the trial courts.
The military courts were established for the speedy trial of the terrorists after the deadliest attack on an army public school in Peshawar in December 2014. Nearly 150 people, mostly students, were killed in the Taliban-claimed attack.
In March this year, the parliament approved a constitutional amendment to revive the military courts for two more years. The two-year term of the military courts had expired in January. All major political parties had showed unity to carry out legislation for the extension of the courts.
