Kuwait hangs 4 Pakistani drug traffickers

Four Pakistani nationals convicted of smuggling heroin were hanged in Kuwait on Sunday and their hooded corpses displayed in public.
Mohammad Ahmad Khan, 33, Sayed Shah, 26, Faz Yusef, 32 and Abdulbaseer Ishaq, 50, were hanged inside the interior ministry in Kuwait City before dozens of spectators were allowed into the complex to view their bodies.
The justice ministry said the four had been arrested in separate incidents in 2002 at Kuwait Airport for smuggling heroin with a total value of about $2 million. It said the men had swallowed capsules containing the drugs in an attempt to smuggle them into Kuwait.
