Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist Omar Sheikh and 10 others were charge sheeted by an anti-terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi, on March 22, for their alleged involvement in the abduction-cum-murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl. The State counsel said whatever Omar had stated before the court would be held against him despite the fact that he did not say anything on oath. As reported earlier, on his first production before the ATC, Omar had admitted having masterminded the abduction of Pearl. Sindh Advocate General (AG) Raja Qureshi made this statement after attending the pre-trial proceedings. The police submitted an interim charge sheet of the case and produced principal accused Omar Sheikh and his accomplice Adil Sheikh before the judge. On the AG’s request, the court allowed the police time till March 29 to file the final charge sheet and remanded both the accused to judicial custody till that date. Meanwhile, Raja Qureshi was quoted as saying that Omar cannot be extradited to the US in the near future as he has been charged with the abduction and murder of Daniel Pearl. "Once a trial commences, then the person cannot be extradited unless the trial has been concluded and, if convicted, he has served out the sentence," he said.
