The murder conviction of a British Pakistani man found guilty of the 2002 kidnapping and killing of journalist Daniel Pearl was overturned by a court in Pakistan on Thursday.
The sentence of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh was reduced to seven years in prison for the charge of kidnapping. His lawyer, Khwaja Naveed, says it was expected those years would count as time served. Saeed had spent 18 years in prison in southern Hyderabad on death row.
The court also acquitted three others -- Fahad Naseem, Sheikh Adil, and Salman Saqib -- who were accused in the case and had been sentenced to life in prison.

Pakistan is not our friend.
We should stop pretending that they are.
We should stop pretending any muslim nation can be our friend.
It’s against their religion to be friends with infidels.
It’s in their book.
We should kill the judge and the criminals to make a point.
Then we should cut off Pakistan and support India against them in all things.
Why we ever played nice with that place for all these decades is still a mystery to me. Musharraf was at least reasonably negotiable in dealing with, but these new leaders, no way.
Should have stayed with Britain and backed India.
When are we going to wake up and realize Pakistan is NOT our Friend? In addition to things like this and many more anti American actions, they continue to harbor the Taliban, ISIS and other terrorist organizations. We need to start punishing them until they quit being a safe haven for terrorists.
Never forget that while America got deeper and deeper I the Afghan quagmire searching for Osama Bin Laden, he was living with his family in the town where Pakistan’s military academy is situated and where many retired senior Pakistani officers live. Only the globalists trust these people. If they come to complete power in the next election, the American nation will be finished.
Square One was their harboring and hiding OBL, and it’s been downhill ever since. And now this.
Of course they did. Hey, how’s Imran Awan anyway? Asking for Debbie Wasserman Shultz.
