Pakistan Authorities Hanged Four Men To Death

An official at the prison said the four men linked to the Taliban massacre were hanged on Wednesday they had held a final meeting with their families last night also a police official said their bodies would be handed over to relatives.
Pakistan today executed the four men linked to the Taliban massacre of 130 pupils at a school in December, with parents of victims saying they deserved 'no forgiveness' for their actions.

The picture shows the aftermath of the devastating Pakistan school massacre, as the Taliban issued a chilling warning that it will carry out more atrocities, boasting: "This was just a trailer".

One-hundred and thirty-two children and nine teachers died on Tuesday after Taliban fighters launched a brutal assault on a military school in the city of Peshawar.

The gang of nine insurgent gunmen hit the school with suicide bombs and bullets during a terrifying attack, which also left more than 100 people injured.

According to AFP, the executions, carried out by hanging at a prison in the city of Kohat Survivors of the assault, in which the majority of the more than 150 victims were children, said they were 'happy' to hear of the executions, with one father saying the hangings should have been carried out in public squares rather than behind prison doors.

The attack was Pakistan's deadliest and shocked a country already scarred by nearly a decade of extremism.
