Daniel Pearl case: White House angry over Omar Sheikh’s release
The White House has expressed outrage at the Pakistani court’s order to release the accused in the Daniel Pearl murder case.
In a briefing, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki urged the Pakistani government to take legal action to reconsider the decision.
Earlier, a spokesman for the Attorney General’s Office of Pakistan had said that a review petition would be filed in the Daniel Pearl murder case in which the Supreme Court would be asked to reverse the acquittal of Omar Sheikh and his associates.
It is to be noted that the Supreme Court yesterday rejected the Sindh government’s appeal to stop the release of Umar Sheikh, an accused in the murder case of American journalist Daniel Pearl, and ordered his immediate release.
