Daniel Pearl's alleged killer may soon walk free
Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the release from prison on Tuesday of a British-born militant who had been convicted in the kidnapping and murder of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl by al Qaeda and PakistaniIslamist militants in 2002.
Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the release of the previously convicted killer of Daniel Pearl, a U.S. journalist who was kidnapped and beheaded by al Qaeda and Pakistani Islamist militants in 2002.
The Tuesday decision is expected to draw fire from the United States.
The court recommended that British-born militant Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh, the main suspect in Pearl's murder, be transferred to a government safe house as a stepping stone towards his full release.
Pearl was kidnapped in Karachi while on assignment for the Wall Street Journal in the months after the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
He was beheaded nine days later, as the militants filmed his execution.
Tuesday's ruling comes after the Pakistani government and Pearl's parents challenged an earlier decision last Thursday to clear Sheikh and three accomplices of all charges except abduction.
Sheikh played a key role in luring the journalist into a trap, while Al Qaeda's number three leader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to killing Pearl.
He's being held at the U.S. detention center in Guantanamo Bay, awaiting trial on multiple counts, and could face the death penalty.
Meanwhile, the terms of Sheikh's release will become clearer once a written order is made public.

Supreme Court Considers Letting Cities , Punish Homeless for Sleeping Outside.
On April 22, the Supreme Court will hear a case out of Grants Pass, Oregon, which has a population of less than 40,000, NPR reports. .
'Grants Pass v. Johnson' seeks to challenge two
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings which found fining or jailing the unhoused to be cruel and unusual punishment when they have no other alternative.
'Grants Pass v. Johnson' seeks to challenge two
9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings which found fining or jailing the unhoused to be cruel and unusual punishment when they have no other alternative.
But Grants Pass argues that public health and safety are dependent on camping restrictions that are commonly found across America. .
The city contends that homeless encampments pose a danger to those living
in them, as well as to families and children.
This is because the encampments
are often filled with people who need
mental health and drug addiction resources.
Advocates for the unhoused say that criminalizing sleeping outside is counterproductive. .
Punishing someone for doing
something they have no control
over, no ability to not do, is not
going to end that status. In fact,
not only does criminalization not
work, it makes matters worse. , Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center, via NPR.
A criminal record and debt from fines would make it even more difficult for a homeless person to find housing, says Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center.
But many cities don't have
enough permanent housing to offer.
Grants pass could use about 4,000 more housing units, while the national
"deficit is in the millions," NPR reports.
The shortage has caused rents to skyrocket, which is a main driver of homelessness

The United States has taken decisive action by imposing sanctions on four entities involved in procuring materials for Pakistan's ballistic missile project. This move aims to disrupt networks supporting proliferation activities, particularly those related to weapons of mass destruction. Three of the entities are based in China, while one operates out of Belarus. These companies have supplied items relevant to Pakistan's ballistic missile programs, including its efforts to develop long-range missiles.
