The Pakistani anti-terror court on Saturday found Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, one of Punjab governor Salman Taseer’s bodyguards, guilty of murder and sentenced him to death.
Qadri confessed to shooting Taseer dead outside an upmarket coffee shop close to his residence in the leafy capital Islamabad on January 4.
He said he objected to the politician’s calls to amend the blasphemy law, which mandates the death penalty for those convicted of defaming the Prophet Mohummed (صلى الله عليه واله وسلم)
