Pak soldier hanged for plot to kill Musharraf

Islam Siddiqui, one of several soldiers and militants arrested after two al Qaeda-inspired attempts on Musharraf's life in late 2003, was executed in the central city of Multan after being sentenced by a military court last year.

"He was hanged this morning and his body was handed over to his family," Hasan Waseem Afzal, Home Secretary of the Punjab province, told Reuters.
