Five Pakistan navy officers linked to the ISIS have been sentenced to death in a secret military trail for allegedly planning to hijack a Pakistani warship to attack one of the US navy’s refuel ships, a media report said today.
Sub-lieutenant Hammad Ahmed and four other naval officers have been sentenced after being convicted by a Navy tribunal for their involvement in the September 6, 2014 attack on Karachi Naval Dockyard.
“The five were charged with having links with the militant ISIS group, mutiny, hatching a conspiracy and carrying weapons in the dockyard,” Hammad’s father Retired Major Saeed Ahmed told the Dawn newspaper.
