Authorities are scrambling to manage the fallout from a decision by the Supreme Court to free the Pakistani-British man accused in the 2002 beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl.
The Sindh government on Friday filed a review petition, asking the apex court to revisit its decision.
But even the lawyer for the Pearl family has said a review petition has a slim chance of succeeding because it is heard by the same judges who voted to free Ahmad Saeed Omar Sheikh. The case appears to have fallen apart because of the contradictory evidence produced during Sheikh’s original trial in 2002 and the decision by the prosecution at the time to try him and three other accused co-conspirators together. According to the Pearl family lawyer, Faisal Siddiqi, this means that doubt about the guilt of one translates into a doubt about all.

Qureshi accused India of being fearful of dialogue because of what he called, its state-run brutalities in Jammu & Kashmir.

Islamabad, Jan 27 (IANS): Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has dared India to come to the dialogue table with Pakistan over the Kashmir dispute, if it is so sure about its stance and standing on the matter.
Qureshi accused India of being fearful of dialogue because of what he called, its state-run brutalities in Jammu & Kashmir. India did not pay heed to Prime Minister Imran Khan s offer for peace talks. The country instead took measures that further escalated the situation in Indian-occupied Kashmir, he said.
Qureshi claimed that Kashmir is an internationally recognised dispute, urging that use of force is not the solution to resolve the longstanding issue between Pakistan and India.
