Pakistan to hang two for US consulate suicide blast

A PAKISTANI anti-terrorism court convicted four men yesterday of organising last year's suicide bomb attack on the US consulate in the port city of Karachi, and handed death sentences to two of them.

The other two were sentenced to life in jail, while a fifth was acquitted.

Twelve Pakistanis were killed when suspected Islamic militants packed a vehicle with explosives and rammed it into the perimeter wall of the consulate on June 14. No foreigners or consulate staff were killed.
