Omar Sheikh indictment
  • America accused Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh yesterday of "methodically setting a death trap" for murdered journalist Daniel Pearl. The British-born extremist was indicted on two charges. The charges carry the death penalty. A federal grand jury issued the indictments – for hostage-taking and for hostage-taking leading to Mr Pearl's death. Authorities also revealed – or unsealed – an earlier indictment that charges Mr Saeed with a 1994 kidnapping.
    Even sitting in jug in Pakland, his attitude can be "indict and be damned." The indictment means nothing to him unless the Paks hand him over and chances of that actually happening are remote. Probably the best the US can hope for is for the Paks to convict him - which'll probably mean a couple years house arrest.
