Court sets aside petition to keep Pearl suspect in Pakistan
A Pakistani court on Tuesday set aside a petition to block handing over Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the prime suspect in the Daniel Pearl slaying, to the United States. The government pledged to try him at home first under Pakistani law, with no extradition treaty in place. The decision keeps a potential transfer door open under legal channels.
