ISLAMABAD:

Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar on Thursday, welcoming the convictions of those involved in May 9 arson, underlined the need for military trial of its mastermind and his accomplices.

Talking to the media, the minister said the military courts have convicted 60 individuals involved in the May 9 attacks on Lahore's Jinnah House, PAF Airbase Mianwali, Qila Chakdara, and other sensitive installations. "This is a significant step forward, as those responsible for attacking sensitive installations have been brought to justice," he said, while attributing the attacks to a "conspiracy masterminded by the PTI founder".
