ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan army said army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa has confirmed death sentences for 12 “hardcore terrorists” after military courts found them guilty of carrying out multiple attacks, killing innocent civilians, attacking Pakistan law enforcement agencies and armed forces.
In a statement on Monday, issued by the military media wing Inter-Services Public Relations, the army said: “On the whole, they were involved in the killing of 34 people including 26 civilians and eight Armed Forces/Frontier Constabulary personnel, and injuring 133 others.
“These convicts confessed their offenses before the judicial magistrate and the trial court.”
Six other convicts have been given prison sentences.
Pakistan resumed military courts after the December 2014 attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, which left more than 150 dead, mostly students.
