#1 Second money trail with ISI taint on it...

Why then is Omar Sheikh not being dealt with when he is already under sentence of death? Astonishingly his appeal to a higher court against the sentence was adjourned in July for the 32nd time and has since been adjourned indefinitely. This is all the more remarkable when this is the same Omar Sheikh who, at the behest of General Mahmood Ahmed, head of the ISI, wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, the leading 9/11 hijacker, before the New York attacks, as confirmed by Dennis Lormel, director of FBI's financial crimes unit.

#3 It is a pity that the real pressure point - the gallows - is not available.
Portugal only allowed extradition if India gave assurances Abu Salem would not face the hangman.

Omar Sheikh is another person they would like to get their hands on. Will never happen though.
Musharraf has refused access even to American investigators. He simply knows too much about ISI terror operations.
