Pearl Murder Sentence Review

Guardian, Daniel Pearl murder: Pakistani court overturns death sentence of accused

"Sheikh’s role in the murder of Pearl has long been disputed. He is known to have been involved in the kidnapping of the journalist, who was investigating al-Qaida in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi when he disappeared in January 2002, but is thought not to have taken part in his killing.
"The murder, which was filmed and the video posted online, may instead have been carried out by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the key organiser of the 9/11 attacks, who is being held at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba."
