JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) Indonesian authorities on Sunday executed a Pakistani man who was convicted of smuggling drugs into the country.
Muhammad Abdul Hafeez, 44, was shot dead by a firing squad early Sunday in Banten province, west of Jakarta, said Attorney General's Office spokesman Setia Untung Arimuladi.
Hafeez was arrested in June 2001 upon arrival at Soekarno-Hatta airport after customs officers found 1,050 grams of heroin hidden in snack packages he was carrying.
He was sentenced to death the same year.
The execution was carried out after Hafeez's second request for judicial review was rejected by the Supreme Court, Arimuladi said.
