KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) – An appeals court Wednesday again postponed a hearing on appeals by four Islamic militants convicted in the killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, a lawyer said.
The Sindh High court ordered the latest postponement because the prosecution and a lawyer for three of the convicts failed to appear at the hearing, said Abdul Waheed Katpar, a lawyer for Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who has been sentenced to death in Pearl’s killing.
