Karachi Sheraton bombers released from Durance Vile
2009-05-06
KARACHI: Two men convicted of the Sheraton hotel 2002 bomb blast have been freed.

Asif Zaheer and Rizwan were sentenced to death 15 times by an anti-terrorism court. The car bomb went off on May 8, 2002 outside the Sheraton Hotel in the southern city of Karachi, killing 14 people, including 11 French engineers.

The Sindh High Court's Justice Faisal Arab ruled that there was a lack of evidence and that they were wrongly convicted.

#7  Thanks, but then I'd have to pay royalties to "Tales From the Crossfire Gazette", or else risk being labeled a lowdown dirty plagiarizer and would have to settle for becoming Vice President or a Pulitzer prize-winning author.

Frankly, I aspire to greater things - namely, a pixel-stained scribe on the night desk of the Rantburg Defender-Scimitar and Times-Picayune.

#6  Sea's contribution would HAVE to be better than most of the crap that's on public television these days.

#5  Poor, Mr. Upazilla! But then, when a man is weak of chin and character, a bad end is all that can be expected.

Seafarious, have you considered yet another alternative career as a script writer?

#4  Tony Upazilla was a bouncer at the Bada Bing in Season Three, IIRC. He came to a bad end when he turned police informant and tried to rat out Uncle Joon. The cops took him for a long walk behind the cannery one night, Christopher and his posse opened fire and then fled into the shadows, leaving poor Tony with three rounds of bullet in his noggin. One behind each ear and one in the base of the skull.

At least it was sweeps and the ratings were real high for the epi. So that's something.
