Pakistan's military sentenced an Indian naval officer to death Monday on charges of espionage and sabotage, officials said. Pakistan's Defense Minister Khawaja Mohammad Asif alleged that the spy had official Indian government backing. Pakistan's army released a video shortly after Jadhav's arrest in which he confessed to having spent years sowing unrest in Pakistan. The ministry statement said that Jadhav was kidnapped last year from Iran and his subsequent presence in Pakistan was never explained credibly. It concluded that his death sentence, if carried out, would be regarded by the Indian government as premediated murder.
