Five
Pakistani Naval officers were sentenced to death in a 2014 Karachi Naval
Dockyard attack case on Monday.
“Sub-Lieutenant
Hammad Ahmed, and four other naval officers had been convicted of the naval
dockyard attack that took place on Defence Day around two years ago,” Retired
Major Saeed Ahmed in a trial of his son was quoted as saying by Dawn Monday.
“The
five were charged with having links with the militant Islamic State group,
mutiny, hatching a conspiracy and carrying weapons in the dockyard,” Ahmed
said.
However,
according to media reports, the attackers were purportedly planning to hijack
the warship PNS Zulfiqar to use it in an attack on one of the US navy’s refuel
ships. Two militants were killed and four others were apprehended by security
personnel.
