Two Pakistanis to be hanged in Kuwait today |
2005-01-11 |
Two Pakistani smugglers arrested earlier will be hanged today after Kuwaiti courts and the state's ameer found them guilty of smuggling heroin into Kuwait. Ayub Shah (30) and Usman Khan (40) were caught by Kuwaiti Customs officials for smuggling heroin in 2002 and both confessed to their crime before a local court, according to Kuwaiti police. After charging the accused, the court awarded them the death sentence and they made mercy appeals to the Supreme Court, which upheld the lower court's decision. |

#2 I think the regular and irregular forms are allowed to be aesthetic choices for the rhetorical, artistic or aural pleasure of the writer, John. Sort of like flammable or inflammable, both of which mean, "Watch out, it'll burn right quick if you keep doing that!" |

#1 The past tense would be "Two Pakistanis hung." Just doesn't sound right. On the other hand it does sound just right or right just. |
