ISLAMABAD: Pakistan army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa today approved death penalty for 10 terrorists including those who shot dead Amjad Sabri, one of the country's finest Sufi Qawwals. In a statement, the military's media wing said the terrorists, tried by special military courts, were involved in killing of 62 people and heinous crimes against the state including attack on security forces and a five-star hotel in Peshawar.
Ishaq and Asim were involved in the killing of Sabri and attacking the law enforcement agencies/armed forces of Pakistan, which resulted in death of 17 officials, the statement said, adding that they were awarded death sentence.
Sabri, 45, was travelling in a car in Karachi's congested Liquatabad 10 area when two motorcycle-borne gunmen shot him in the head in a targeted terror attack on June 22, 2016. He was rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
The Tehreek-e-Taliban Hakimullah Masood group had claimed responsibility for the attack on Sabri.
Sabri was the son of renowned Qawwal Ghulam Farid Sabri whose family is famous in the subcontinent for their contribution to this sufi art and mystic poetry.
Some of the most memorable and famous qawwalis of the Sabris were 'Bhar Do Jholi Meri', 'Tajdar-i-Haram' and 'Mera Koi Nahin Hai Teray Siwa'.

Advanced Transport To Save Lives, Self-Driving Cars Must Become the Ultimate Defensive Drivers by The 2262 li Getty Images IN BRIEF The myriad of potential causes of danger on the road makes programming self-driving especially difficult. Not only must programmers develop procedures for normal conditions, but also learn how to react when drivers and vehicles behave out of the ordinary. Srikanth Saripalli , Texas A&M University In early November, a self-driving shuttle and a delivery truck collided in Las Vegas . The event, in which no one was injured and no property was seriously damaged, attracted media and public attention in part because one of the vehicles was driving itself – and because that shuttle had been operating for only less than an hour before the crash. It’s not the first collision involving a self-driving vehicle. Other crashes have involved Ubers in Arizona , a Tesla in “autopilot” mode in Flo...
