PAF bus attack: Two terrorist facilitators get life sentence

LAHORE (Web Desk) – Two convicts were sentenced to life imprisonment by the Lahore High Court on Wednesday for facilitating the suicide attack on a Pakistan Air Force bus in 2007.

The bench of Justice Abdul Sami Khan and Justice Sadaqat Ali sentenced Omer Farooq and Mohsin alias Bugti to eight counts of life-imprisonment each.

The judges also dismissed their mercy appeals.

Both Farooq and Bugti had been convicted by an anti-terrorism court in Sargodha for facilitating the suicide bomber who rammed his bike into the bus, which was carrying PAF staff from Mushaf Mir Airbase to Kirana Ammunition Depot, killing eight officials and injuring several others.
