Pak: Three sentenced to death for killing French engineers
KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court awarded three death sentences to three of the four accused, Asif Zaheer, Rizwan Ahmed and an absconder, Mohammad Sohail, in the suicide bombing case of May 8, 2002 here at Sheraton hotel in which 11 Frenchmen and two Pakistanis were killed. One of the absconders, Adnan Qamar alias Noni, was acquitted in the case. âThe judgment has been given under local and foreign pressure,â Rizwan Ahmed told journalists while police tried to whisk him out from the courtroom. âThe government is a hostage and indicting innocent people in serious crimes,â said Asif Zaheer.
