A Pakistani anti terrorism court sentenced to death Atta Ullah and Mohammed Azam, two leaders of an outlawed Islamic militant group, for killing a minority Shiite Muslim. The two, who also belonged to the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group, were also fined 200,000 rupees (US $3,500) each, prosecutor Mazhar Qayyum said. The two men were captured in 2003 by the police in the southern city of Karachi in connection with the July 2001 murder of Hamid Rizvi, a local Shiite businessman. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi is one of the several extremist groups which were banned by Pakistan's President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. The group has been blamed for killing hundreds of Shiites in Pakistan and other terrorist attacks.
