PAKISTAN. TWO MEN HANGED FOR MURDER

two Pakistanis convicted of separate murders were hanged after President Pervez Musharraf turned down their pleas for clemency, jail officials said. The pair were both executed before dawn at the same jail in Faisalabad, a city in the central province of Punjab, jail superintendent Yusuf Ghauri told AFP.
Mohammad Farooq, 45, was sentenced to death for killing his nephew over a property dispute in 1999, Ghauri said.
Shah Nawaz was condemned to die for killing a man and his son during a robbery in Faisalabad district in 1992, the official added.
The execution orders were implemented after Musharraf rejected their mercy petitions, Ghauri said.
