ISLAMABAD, Dec 24 (AFP): The European Union mission in Islamabad on Wednesday condemned Pakistan's decision to restart executions in the wake of the country's bloodiest-ever terror attack.

Pakistan has hanged six prisoners since announcing last week that a six-year moratorium on the death penalty was being lifted in terror cases.

The decision came amid public outrage over a Taliban massacre at a school in the northwestern city of Peshawar which killed 150 people, including 134 children.
