Civil, military leadership discuss national security at GHQ


RAWALPINDI (Web Desk) - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met Army Chief General Raheel Sharif on Friday at the Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi to discuss national security.
The Prime Minister was accompanied by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.
The meeting reviewed the overall security situation in the country.
The meeting also focused on the ongoing Zarb-e-Azb operation and the future course of action following the recent attack of terrorists at a school in Peshawar that killed more than 140 persons, mostly children.
Director General ISI Lt. General Rizwan Akhtar gave a detailed briefing to the meeting on security situation.
The meeting occurred after General Raheel Sharif late Thursday night approved the execution of six terrorists, who were sentenced to death by military courts.
The Army Chief`s approval of their executions came after PM Nawaz on Wednesday lifted the moratorium on capital punishment in the country.
The six terrorists include convicts in cases relating to the General Headquarters attack, Pervez Musharraf attack and attack on a military camp near River Chenab.
They had been awarded death sentences by the Field General Court Martial under the Army Act.
