[IsraelTimes] In a dramatic turn of events, a man convicted and later acquitted in the 2002 killing of Jewish American journalist Daniel Pearl admitted a "minor" role in his death, upending 18 years of denials, the Pearl family lawyer say.A letter handwritten by Ahmad Saeed Omar Sheikh
...in our archives as Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and Ahmed Omar Sheikh, so the reorganization is understandable. He’s the Brit of Pakistani origin who has thus far spent eighteen years in various Pakistani government safe houses successfully avoiding either being hanged or transferred to the U.S. for his not-minor role in Israeli-American Daniel Pearl’s heinous murder, a nice rest after the very busy earlier stage of his life. As a brilliant but violent lad he hooked up with the jihadi crowd at the London School of Economics, dropping out to join the jihadis in Bosnia — reportedly on orders from MI-6. After a break to run Al Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan, he was jailed in India in 1994 for kidnapping Western tourists in Kashmir for Pakistan’s ISI. In 1999 Saeed Sheikh and two leaders of Harkat-ul-Mujahideen were traded for the passengers and crew of a hijacked Indian Airlines plane, after which he wandered down to Karachi to hang with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s (KSM) gang. This may yet turn out to have been a fatal error...
in 2019, in which he admits limited involvement in the death of the Wall Street Journal news hound, was submitted to Pakistain’s Supreme Court nearly two weeks ago. It wasn’t until Wednesday that Sheikh’s lawyers confirmed their client wrote it.
