Islamabad (IINA) – Pakistani local authorities on Wednesday executed four Taliban extremists in connection with the massacre in Peshawar, in which more than 130 school children were killed.
The executions, carried out by hanging Wednesday morning at a prison in the city of Kohat, were the first in connection with the December 16 attack on an army-run school in the northwestern city of Peshawar, AFP reported.
Survivors of the assault, in which the majority of 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.
