ISLAMABAD:
Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Thursday welcomed the conviction of those involved in the May 9 arson attack, and stressed the need for a military trial against the mastermind and his accomplices.
Addressing the media, the minister said military courts have convicted 60 people involved in the May 9 attacks on Jinnah House in Lahore, PAF Mianwali Air Base, Qila Chakdara and other sensitive installations. “This is a significant step forward, since those responsible for the attacks on sensitive installations have been brought to justice,” he said, while attributing these attacks to a “conspiracy orchestrated by the founder of the PTI” .
