Omar Sheikh refuses to meet British officials
British born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, sentenced to death for the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl has refused to meet a British Embassy official who requested a routine visit with him at a Hyderabad prison. He would not meet âany Britisher, saying they are enemies of Muslims,â his attorney, Abdul Waheed Katpar, told The Associated Press. The British Embassy had been seeking consular access to Sheikh â a standard practice to inquire about the welfare of its citizens, a provincial official told AP on condition of anonymity.
