[DAWN] Arshad Mehmood, a former military trooper, was among five convicts who were handed out the death sentence for their role in an Al Qaeda-inspired assassination attempt on Musharraf’s life in late 2003.Mehmood was executed by hanging on Friday. He is among the first death sentences carried out after the government ended a six-year moratorium on executions, in response to the Peshawar school tragedy that claimed over 140 lives, the majority of whom were children.
His funeral was attended by a large crowd of supporters and well-wishers.
The pictures show big crowds of devout men with turbans. No automatic weapons in overt evidence. What does a well-wisher wisha dead guy? His 72 surgeons can shorten his neck to normal length?
