RAWALPINDI: Three convicts linked to the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were transferred to Adiala Jail after they were convicted under the Army Act on Tuesday, security sources said.

The sources said the prisoners, identified as Shawala Khan from Mohmand Agency and Mohammad Zeeshan and Nasir Khan from Abbottabad were tried by a military court and then shifted to Adiala Jail.

All three convicts were said to be involved in terrorism-related cases, and were put in separate barracks of the jail amid tight security.
