Hand over the killers of Daniel Pearl to us, America knocked out Pakistan

- A Pakistani court acquitted the killers

Islamabad / Washington Thursday 31 December 2020

The United States has been urging Pakistan to hand over the killers of journalist Daniel Pearl to us if you cannot punish them. We'll be declining.

At the behest of the ISI and the Pakistani military, Pakistan's Sindh High Court recently ordered the release of Pearl's killers from jail. Pakistan continues to do so. Aka Masood Azhar, the mastermind of the sea attack on Mumbai, and Rita, the mastermind behind the Mumbai bombings, are still roaming Pakistan baroque.

The United States has taken a hard line on the issue. Following the tough stance of the US, there were reports that Imran Khan's government had blocked the release of the killers. However there is no way to know if this really happened. U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Rose sternly warned Pakistan to hand over the killers to the United States if Pakistan could not handle Daniel Pearl's murder case. We will handle the case.

"If Pakistani government officials fail to do justice to Pearl, hand over Pearl's killer, Umar Sheikh, to the United States," Rose said. We will take legal action against it. By freeing such killers you are working to traumatize the victims of terrorism.

The United States has expressed disbelief about Pakistan's justice system and Pakistan's intentions to deliver justice. Umar Sheikh was the main accused in Pearl's murder.

Last week, a two-judge bench of the Sindh High Court ordered the release of Daniel Pearl's killer Umar Sheikh and three other accomplices at the behest of the ISI and the Pakistan Army. The US was shocked by the Sindh High Court's decision.

Daniel Pearl, a reporter for the American newspaper Wall Street, was first kidnapped and then killed in Karachi in 2002 to investigate a story. Pearl's body was found in a part of Karachi. Pakistani police had launched an investigation into her murder. The police had said that the killing may have been carried out by terrorists.
