RAWALPINDI: Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa  has confirmed death sentences of 11 terrorists, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Saturday.

A statement issued by the ISPR said convicts were involved in attacks on personnel of law-enforcement agencies and killings of innocent citizens.

Pakistan has sent hundreds of terrorists to gallows since it lifted a moratorium on the capital punishment.

The moratorium was lifted after a terrorist raid on Peshawar's Army Public School. 

Over 140 people mostly children were martyred in the attack.
