Kasi spends last hours in death house
JARRAT, Virginia (CNN) -- Pakistani native Mir Aimal Kasi is scheduled to die by lethal injection in Virginia Thursday night for killing two CIA employees in an ambush-style murder spree outside CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia January 25, 1993. Kasi is to die by lethal injection at the "L Unit," a high-security facility located at the rear of the Greensville Correctional Center, said Larry Traylor, the corrections spokesman. Kasi was allowed to meet with family members until 3 p.m. At that time, the relatives were moved to a common area on the prison grounds where they will have to wait for the execution to be over. Six people -- all residents of Virginia who request to see an execution and are chosen at random -- and four members of the news media in one room will witness the execution. The room has a two-way window through which the defendant can see the witnesses and they can see him. Relatives of the victims will be in a separate room, sitting behind tinted glass through which Kasi cannot see. Kasi is to be the fourth person executed in Virginia this year, Traylor said.
