A Pakistani court sentenced three Islamic militants to death after finding them guilty of killing four women as they prayed at a church near Islamabad.
The three men were captured shortly after the August 9, 2003, attack on the grounds of a Presbyterian hospital in Taxila, about 40 kilometers Northwest from the capital.
The women were all nurses at a hospital adjacent to the church.
They died as they were leaving the church when attackers hurled grenades at the congregation. One assailant also died in the assault.
The attack was one of several against foreigners and minority Christians in the months following President Pervez Musharraf's decision to ally himself with the United States in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in America.
