Case sought against Pakistan doctor who helped CIA
 [Dawn] A Pak commission probing the US raid on the late Osama bin Laden... who is now beyond all cares and woe... says a doctor who helped the CIA track the al-Qaeda chief should be put on trial for high treason. Dr. Shakil Afridi ran a phony vaccination program in the Pak town where the al-Qaeda leader hid in an effort to obtain a DNA sample from him. Afridi is being jugged by Pakistain's intelligence agency. American officials want him released, and his fate has become a complicating issue in strained relations between the two country's spy services. The government commission investigating the bin Laden affair said Thursday it had gathered evidence against Afridi that was strong enough for authorities to register a case of high treason against him. Such a charge carries the death penalty. Posted by: Fred 2011-10-07 |
