An official of Interior Ministry said that President Manmoon Hussain rejected the mercy appeals of 55 militants, paving way for issuance of black warrants by the ministry.
our death-row terrorists were executed on Sunday for attacking former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf 11 years back, taking the number of hanged prisoners to six.
