The two militants - Attaullah alias Qasim and Mohammad Azam alias Sharif - were sentenced to death in July 2004 by an anti-terrorism court on charges of killing Ali Raza Peerani on sectarian grounds in June 2001 in Karachi, Dawn online reported.
The superintendent of the Karachi central prison informed the ATC-V that previous death warrants were suspended by the high court on technical grounds and asked the trial court to issue fresh black warrants for their execution.
Judge Mohammad Javed Alam of the ATC-V Saturday issued the black warrants for the condemned prisoners. The court directed the jail superintendent to hang them till death Feb 3 at 6.30 a.m.
The prisoners have been dodging death for the last many years as the Pakistan Peoples Party government had placed a moratorium on executions after coming to power in 2008.
The government lifted the moratorium Dec 17, 2014, in the wake of the Peshawar school carnage Dec 16, in which 141 people were killed, 132 of them school children.
