Pakistan on Wednesday hanged four Taliban militants involved in the country’s deadliest terror attack at an Army-run school in Peshawar that killed over 150 people, mostly children, days after their appeals were rejected with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif saying they deserve “no mercy”.
The four militants — Maulvi Abdus Salam, Hazrat Ali, Mujeebur Rehman and Sabeel alias Yahya — were hanged in a civil jail in Kohat near Peshawar, the first executions in the Peshawar school massacre case. A security official confirmed the execution of the four terrorists all of whom were members of the Toheedwal Jihad Group, a Taliban-affiliate.
