ISLAMABAD, Dec 11 - A military court in Pakistan jailed former spy chief Faiz Hamid for 14 years on four charges including interference in politics, the army said on Thursday, in a rare ‍conviction ​of a once-powerful general in the South Asian nation.

Hamid, in ‍custody and under trial since August last year, was the chief of Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency ​from 2019 ​to 2021 under jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, and the two were considered close allies.
