Pakistan's top court postpones appeal in Daniel Pearl case
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan's top court on Tuesday postponed for two weeks the much-awaited appeals hearing against the acquittal earlier this year of a British-Pakistani man and three others in the 2002 kidnapping and killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
According to Faisal Saddiqi, a defense lawyer for the Pearl family, the Supreme Court announced the postponement in the case after the chief prosecutor failed to show up following a death in the family.
Saddiqui said the next hearing will be on Sept. 29.
Pearl disappeared on Jan. 23, 2002 in the southern port city of Karachi while researching links between Pakistani militants and Richard C. Reid, who became known as the “shoe-bomber” after he was arrested on a flight from Paris to Miami with explosives in his shoes.
