New Delhi: Mohammed Afzal, who was convicted for his role in the attack on India's Parliament in December 2001, will be hanged on October 20 at Delhi's Tihar Jail.
The Delhi High Court upheld the death sentence in October 2003. The sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court on August 4, 2005.
On December 13, 2001, the Parliament was attacked by five militants who stormed into the compound and killed several security personnel.
The raid was the most daring of all attacks launched by terrorists.
Delivering a final verdict in the case, the Supreme Court passed a death sentence against Afzal for providing logistical support to the terrorists.
Professor SAR Geelani, an Arabic language teacher at Delhi University, was acquitted in the case. </span></span>
