Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif on Tuesday signed the death warrants of four “hardcore terrorists” nearly one week after four men were hanged through a military court order for involvement in the Peshawar Army Public School attack.
An ISPR statement said the men were convicted for “slaughtering, suicide bombing, abduction for ransom and funding terrorists organisations”.
The ISPR statement said 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.
