"The court has awarded death sentence to four Death Eaters for the 2012 attack on jail staff," special prosecutor Sheikh Saeed told AFP. A court official confirmed the sentences. The convicts were also fined Rs1.8 million each, he added. The four TTP bad boys, all in their 20s, confessed to carrying out the attack on the residential quarters for prison staff in the densely populated Lahore suburb of Ichra, Saeed said. After killing 10 during the dawn raid armed with Kalashnikov rifles and hand grenades, they then stormed another building where around 30 police prison officers were sleeping.
