PAKISTAN. PRESIDENT EXAMINING CASE OF INDIAN NATIONAL ON DEATH ROW SARABJIT SINGH

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said he had taken no decision yet on the fate of an Indian national sentenced to hang on spying and bombing charges but added he was examining the case.
The Hindu newspaper, quoting unnamed Indian officials, had reported earlier in the week that Pakistan had told New Delhi it would not hang execute Sarabjit Singh and he might even be freed after his sentence sparked protests in India.
Musharraf said in an interview aired on Indian news channel Aaj Tak that no decision had been taken but added the case was under scrutiny.
"This is a serious issue. The man has carried out terrorist attacks and killed people here. Now should I have sympathy towards him?" Musharraf said.
