The convicts were tried and awarded death sentence by military courts, which have been established for speedy trial of terrorism-related cases, an army statement said.
"The convicts were involved in terrorists activities, killing of innocent civilians, attacks on educational institutions, slaughtering of soldiers, attacking Law Enforcement Agencies and Armed Forces of Pakistan," a statement from the army's media wing Inter-Services Public Relations said.
