LHC upholds death penalty in ISI office attack

MULTAN: A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court on Thursday upheld the capital punishment awarded to four men for attacking the Inter-Services Intelligence’s (ISI) Multan office.

Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin and Justice Chaudhry Mushtaq of the Lahore High Court (Multan bench) have upheld the last month’s orders of the Anti-Terrorism Court which handed down death sentence to Abdul Raheem, Hafiz Suleman, Sajjad and Muhammad Afzal on 11 counts each, and 25-year imprisonment to their fifth accomplice Ijaz.

Fifteen people were killed and more than 50 others were injured in the gun-and-bomb attack on the ISI office in Cantonment in 2009 and an FIR of the incident was lodged with the Cantonment police.
