    ISLAMABAD, July 5 (IslamOnline) – The prime suspect in the killing of U.S. reporter Daniel Pearl, on Friday, July 5, warned the American government that the Israeli treatment of Palestinians could bring more 9/11 like strikes. Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, 28, facing trial for allegedly kidnapping and killing the U.S. reporter, issued a statement to the Pakistani media through his lawyer Friday saying the United States “deserved” the September 11 strikes and a repeat of the same could take place anytime. His lawyers are wrapping up their arguments before a special trial court seized with the hearing of Pearl murder...
