US has again put pressure on Pakistan seeking justice for murdered American journalist Daniel Pearl, days after his family filed an appeal against a verdict by Sindh court. The verdict acquitted the prime accused al-Qaeda leader Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh and 3 others in the case. Pearl, the South Asia bureau chief for Wall Street Journal, was abducted and beheaded while he was in Pakistan investigating a story in 2002.
