Pakistani Government executes 4 gunmen accused of killing 150 people at a school

The attack was said to be Pakistan's deadliest and shocked the country already scarred by nearly a decade of extreme terrorist attacks.

The government of Pakistan, today reportedly executed four men linked to the Taliban massacre of 130 pupils at a school in December, as parents of victims say they deserved 'no forgiveness' for their actions.

According to AFP, the executions were carried out by hanging at a prison in the city of Kohat.

Survivors of the assault, in which the majority of the more than 150 victims were children, said they were 'happy' to hear of the executions, with one father saying the hangings should have been carried out in public squares rather than behind prison doors.

An official at the prison said the men who were hanged on Wednesday had held a final meeting with their families last night.
