MULTAN, Dec 30: A Pakistan Air Force technician was hanged on Friday after being convicted of killing six colleagues more than three years ago. Nasir Ali Bangash was executed in a jail at Mianwali in Punjab after a trial in a military court, prison authorities said.
The airman went on a shooting spree after a fight with his colleagues at an air base at Sargodha in February 2002. It was not clear what caused the dispute.
Bangash was sentenced to death in July this year by the military court. President Pervez Musharraf, who is also chief of the army, rejected his mercy petition last month.
