(CNSNews.com) – The Department of Justice reiterated on Thursday that the U.S. is ready to take into custody and put on trial a man convicted of the 2002 kidnapping and killing of
Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, after Pakistan’s top court ordered his release from death row.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized the Pakistan Supreme Court’s decision that Ahmed Omar Sheikh should go free, in line with a lower court ruling last December. The December ruling followed an April 2020 decision by the High Court in Sindh province overturning the British national’s murder conviction, and sentencing him to seven years – time already served – for kidnapping.
