Preparations to execute Aqeel alias Dr Usman in relation to an attack on Pakistan Army`s General Headquarters in Rawalpindi in 2009 and Arshad Meherban in a case related to attack on former president Pervez Musharraf, have been completed at Faisalabad`s Central Jail.
As per details, jail authorities have received death warrants of both convicts and they are likely to be hanged on Saturday morning.
At least 10 soldiers were killed during the attack on the army headquarters on October, 10, 2009 while nine of the ten attackers were also killed. Dr Usman, a former soldier of the army`s medical corps, was injured during the attack and taken into custody.
On the other hand, Arshad Meherban was sentenced to death by an anti-terrorism court in Rawalpindi for his involvement in a bomb attack on former president Pervez Musharraf.
Earlier on Thursday, Army Chief General Raheel Sharif signed deaths warrants for six hard-core terrorists , two days after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lifted the moratorium on death penalty for the convicted terrorists.
PM Nawaz had lifted the ban after terrorists attacked Army Public School in Peshawar, killing 141 people, most of them children.
