Convicted Indian Spy Dies After Attack in Pakistani Prison

A convicted Indian spy who was on death row in Pakistan has died from head injuries sustained in a jail attack by fellow prisoners, an incident that threatens to further strain relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

Sarabjit Singh was arrested in 1990 and later found guilty of spying and involvement in deadly bomb blasts in Pakistani cities. His family has said the man hails from a border village in the northern Indian state of Punjab and had crossed the countries’ frontier by mistake.
