A Pakistani man has been executed in the United States for the 1993 murder of two employees of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Mir Aymal Kansi, 38 years old, was executed on Thursday night by lethal injection in a prison in Virginia. Kansi had confessed to the murder of the two CIA employees outside the agency's headquarters in Virginia, located in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. His death sentence was carried out after all legal proceedings, including the denial of his clemency request by Virginia Governor Mark Warner. The U.S. State Department has warned Americans that Kansi's execution could incite violence and attacks against U.S. interests abroad, although Kansi stated in his last interview that he did not want anyone to retaliate for his death.
