Two terrorists of banned outfit in Pakistan, have been hanged in Multan Wednesday.

The two militants, Ghulam Shabbir and Ahmed alias Shish Nang, were involved in the murder of a deputy superintendent of police and four others, Geo News reported.

Earlier Monday, President Mamnoon Hussain rejected pardon pleas of three death row inmates including Ghulam Shabbir and Ahmed.

In December 2014, the Pakistan government ended its moratorium on the death penalty in terror-related cases, following a terrorist attack on an army run Peshawar school in the same month in which 150 people, including 140 school children and teachers, were killed.

Nine convicts including these two have been hanged so far in Pakistan after the death penalty moratorium was lifted by the Nawaz Sharif government.
