Arshad Mehmood: Hanged, then buried by crowds of well-wishers
21st December 2014 | AFP
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.
