Ahmed Ali alias Sheesh Nag and Ghulam Bashir alias Doctor were executed at Multan jail on Wednesday.

MULTAN (Dunya News) – Two terrorists of a banned organization, Ahmed Ali alias Sheesh Nag and Ghulam Bashir alias Doctor were hanged till death at the Multan Jail on early Wednesday morning after their mercy appeals were rejected by President on January 3, 2015.

Ahmed Ali alias Sheesh Nag had gunned down three people on Railway Road in Multan on January 7, 1998 while Ghulam Bashir alias Doctor had killed six police officials including DSP Allahnawaz in Multan on October 10, 1999.

Tight security arrangements were made around the jail on the occasion with troops of Pakistan Army in complete control of the security.

Nine militants convicted of terrorist attacks have been hanged so far as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted a six-year moratorium on death penalty on December 17, 2014 for those convicted for terrorism a day after the deadly attack on Army Public School in Peshawar that left 150 persons including mostly children dead.
