LAHORE: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Lahore handed on Wednesday three death sentences to Hafiz Imran, an al Qaeda member convicted of the kidnapping of a US aid worker in 2011, Express News reported.

Dr Warren Weinstein, an American aid expert was kidnapped at gunpoint from his house in Lahore in August, 2011.

Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri had in an audio message confirmed that the elderly USAID contractor was kidnapped by them.

Zawahiri had said that the White House could secure the 70-year-old Weinstein’s release if it halted air strikes in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen, and releases the 1993 World Trade Center bombers and relatives of former al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.

Government is playing a very very dirty game here. This is not just a coincident that first they hanged those who were involved in attacking General Musharraf, then those who killed Army personnel and now this guy who kidnapped the US doctor. I am not saying that these terrorists should not be hanged, but the government should hang those first (or in haphazard fashion) who have been found guilty in killing the innocent civilians. By doing what the government is doing now, she (and I am saying this with full responsibility) is hoping a backlash from the common Pakistanis. She wants to send the message to the common Pakistanis that Army is primarily interested in hanging terrorists who were involved on attacking Army personnel and not the civilians.

Death warrant for just kidnapping? Was the aid expert killed after being kidnapped?

Hakoomat ne Ek aur faisla bhi kiya hai and you know what it is? To act against terrorism from mullaiyat and their Madrasas and hey put in mind that there is different between crimes and terrorism.

so a person who is convicted of killing 58 people is not a terrorist...?? or wait he has committed crime and not terrorism because he belongs to a political party...

It's time to hang each and every terrorist to clean our country once and for all...

@chauvunist absolutely, they should hang each and every person convicted of murder

The same America, where you'd be the first in line to run off to if they started giving out free nationalities.

PS: Mods, his comment deserves a negative rating. He's indirectly justifying kidnappings and sounds like a closeted Taliban supporter.
