"Pakistan executes seven militants, coinciding with Kerry visit" by Salman Masood and Michael R. Gordon, New York Times January 14, 2015
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The government executed seven prisoners Tuesday, including one who had been convicted for his part in an attack on a US consulate, as part of Pakistan’s broader crackdown on militancy following last month’s massacre at a school in Peshawar.
As I have shown here, that is another fake fraud and fictional event for the very obvious reasons.
The hangings, which took place in four prisons under conditions of increased security, coincided with the second day of a visit to Pakistan by Secretary of State John Kerry, who had come for talks on counterterrorism cooperation, economic aid, and other issues.
I'm sure he vociferously voiced his complaints regarding the human rights.
Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, the country’s capital, Kerry said that just as the United States stood by France after the Charlie Hebdo attack, so it would support Pakistan against Islamist militants, such as those who carried out the Dec. 16 attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, killing 150 people, most of them children.
I'll be ending my coverage of that staged and scripted hoax in Paris; however, Kerry applauded the executions?!!
And see how once again the alleged school massacre is flogged by the propaganda pre$$? A sure hallmark of an agenda-pushing hoax -- simply meaning I've been doing this way too long.
Pakistan lifted a six-year moratorium on executions following that attack. Tuesday’s hangings, which were announced by the office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, brought to 16 the number of executions carried out since the assault on the school.
Human rights groups say the hangings smack of revenge and fail to address the root causes of Islamist militancy. The Pakistani military and Sharif’s government insist that capital punishment acts as an effective deterrent.
That, of course, would be the western intelligence agencies and their allies creating, funding, and directing them all.
Some of those executed Tuesday were convicted for their part in a plot to kill Pervez Musharraf when he was the country’s military ruler.
Whatever happened with his trial?
One was convicted of taking part in a 2003 assault on the US Consulate in the southern port city of Karachi, while three others were hanged for their involvement in the 2001 killing of a Ministry of Defense official.
“There is no room for terrorism or terrorists in our society, and government is determined not to be at ease till the elimination of the last terrorist from our country,” Sharif said Tuesday while reviewing progress on the 20-point “National Action Plan,” devised in the aftermath of the school massacre.
What a GOD AWFUL STENCH!
Public alarm and anger at the ruthlessness of the killings in Peshawar have led to new powers handed to the military by lawmakers.
I'm GAGGING on the OH-SO-OBVIOUS, SELF-SERVING PROPAGANDA!
Last week, Parliament passed a constitutional amendment that empowers military courts to try suspected militants. On Tuesday, the government said the jurisdiction of those courts would be extended to Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistani-controlled Kashmir — districts that are administered under special rules, which may allow the courts to operate with a greater degree of secrecy.
Where Pakistan intelligence operates its own terror group!
Officials say that since the Peshawar school attack, police have started 164 investigations into hate speech in Punjab province and Islamabad and have made 157 arrests and closed 40 printing presses.
In his remarks in Islamabad, delivered alongside Sartaj Aziz, Sharif’s adviser on national security and foreign affairs, Kerry said he had urged Pakistani officials to also target the Haqqani network, which has carried out many attacks in Afghanistan, and other militant groups with long-standing ties to the Pakistani military.

It really just is not that that funny anymore.
“Clearly there are sanctuaries” in Pakistan, Kerry said, but added that the United States was “very pleased” at Islamabad’s recent efforts to diminish those havens.
A-huh!
Kerry also said he had encouraged Pakistani officials to continue to strengthen their country’s previously fraught relationship with the Afghan government, now led by President Ashraf Ghani, and pledged US support for that effort.
I'm told "Afghan officials confirmed for the first time that the Islamic State is active in the south of the country, recruiting fighters, flying the group’s black flags, and possibly battling Taliban militants,"one day after an alliance was allegedly formed?
Yeah, U.S.-created ISIS is now everywhere, yup.
--more--"
I wonder if Kerry ever diddled some young Pakistani.
