Six-year Moratorium

Pakistani authorities today issued a death warrant for a killer condemned as a teenager, as a triple murderer was hanged in the 25th execution since the country resumed capital punishment in December.

Pakistan on Thursday hanged two militants convicted of murder, bringing to 18 the number of executions it has carried out since it lifted a six-year moratorium on the death penalty in terror related cases following a school massacre last month.

Pakistan on Sunday executed four more militants after ending a six-year old moratorium on the death penalty following a Taliban school attack that killed 149 people, officials said.
