Islamabad, Safar 7, 1437, Nov 19, 2015, SPA -- Pakistan's prime minister asked the president Thursday to reject the mercy pleas of four militants on death row for their role in a school massacre last year, dpa reported. At least 150 people, mainly pupils, were killed in December when Taliban militants stormed an army-run school in the north-western city of Peshawar. Pakistan lifted its moratorium on the death penalty after the attack and has since hanged more than 300 convicts. -- SPA 23:22 LOCAL TIME 20:22 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
