A court in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, convicted and sentenced four men to death and three to life in prison for a 2004 suicide bomb attack targeting Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, an official said.
An eighth suspect was acquitted for lack of evidence, a court official said. He requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Aziz was unhurt in the July 30, 2004, attack but nine others, including the bomber, were killed.
