Posted in: Today's ChiliNEW DELHI — For 11 years the family of a convicted terrorist waited and wondered about his fate as he sat on death row. Two weeks ago they found out – from television. Mohammad Afzal Guru had been hanged in secrecy in a faraway jail in New Delhi. A government letter informing them of the imminent hanging arrived at their home in Kashmir two days after he was dead.
`’No words can describe the pain. It was like a bolt from the sky. Our whole family is still locked in that moment. We’re still struggling to reconcile with that moment,” said Yasin Guru, the dead man’s cousin.
