| Omar Sheikh refuses to meet British officials | |
| 2003-08-07 | |
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.

| #5 Did he (AOSS)actually wield the knife that killed Daniel Pearl? I'd love to know what the Brit prisoners in Gitmo were up to--because like it or not--I know--they are our only true ally---but a lot of that Islamokookiness goes on in Britain protected by similar freedoms we enjoy! |

| #4 Thanks, ZF, for reminding everyone who might have forgotten just who this Sheikh asshole is. Pearl's murder was a singular act of cowardice and depravity. I will be surprised if the Brits are doing anything more than confirming for themselves that the asshole Sheikh is, indeed, still miserably rotting in his hellhole and will, indeed, get his when the time comes. I bet he won't get a Christmas card from them - if he lasts that long. |

| #3 NMM: I betcha the Brits are gonna now want him sent to the UK for trial--"He's our citizen!" Well, it worked with GW didn't it? Actually, this guy cut Daniel Pearl's throat from ear to ear.* I don't think the Brits are going to want to save him, if they know what's good for them. * I wonder if the IRA taught Omar that particular trick. |
