PAKISTAN. AIRMAN HANGED FOR KILLING SIX COLLEAGUES

Nasir Ali Bangash, a Pakistan air force technician, was hanged after being convicted of killing six colleagues more than three years ago.
Bangash was executed in a jail at Mianwali in central Punjab province after a trial in a military court, prison authorities said.
The airman went on a shooting spree after a fight with his colleagues at an air base at Sargodha in February 2002. It was not clear what caused the dispute. The military court had sentenced Bangash to death in July 2005. President Pervez Musharraf, who is also chief of the army, rejected his mercy petition last month.
