1/How did we get here? Born in 1973, Omar Sheikh, a British-Pakistani dropout from the London School of Economics became radicalized at Salafi mosques in London in the early 1990s. He vowed to become a jihadi. He went to Pakistan to wage jihad. And kidnap. theguardian.com/world/2005/feb…
2/ 1994, Omar Sheikh went to India for a militant group, and he used the fake name "Rohit Sharma" to kidnap four tourists, including an American, Bela Nuss, from Connaught Place in Delhi. He was caught by Delhi police and sent to Tihar Jail. nytimes.com/1994/11/01/wor…
1/ Christmas Eve, Sindh High Court Judge KK Agha shocked us by issuing get-out-of-jail-free cards to the 4 men convicted in Daniel Pearl's murder. The govt of Pakistan is fighting that ruling. This is what Danny's brave parents, Ruth and @yudapearl say...
2/ From Ruth and @yudapearl: "We refuse to believe that the Pakistani government and the Pakistani people will let such a travesty of justice tarnish the image and legacy of Pakistan."

3/ We believe our sons murderers should remain in jail because of the Supreme Court Appeals, and we are also heartened to hear the Government of Pakistan is filing an appeal against the latest release order so that our son's murderers will remain in jail and justice will prevail.
You could hear a pin drop in court today. Faisal Siddiqi, attorney for Ruth+Judea Pearl, had to end conspiracy theories that Daniel Pearl is alive. He told judges: autopsy + DNA reports confirm Danny's murder. The reports are uploaded here for journalists.

Thread👇🏽 from @AnasMallick’s notes in court.
“The Daniel Pearl murder was a strain of international terrorism,” Farooq Naek, Sindh govt special prosecutor, told judges. He laid out how Omar Sheikh used a fake identify to trap Danny. Danny was chasing a story that a cleric, 👇🏽Sheikh Gilani, directed shoe bomber Richard Reid.
Omar Sheikh was sitting in the office of a jihadi org in Islamabad when the phone rang. “Arif” answered. A journalist Danny had hired asked if anyone knew how to find Sheikh Gilani. Omar heard. He faked being a student of Gilani. He set up to meet Danny at the Akbar Intl Hotel👇🏽

For your resilience, thank you to the brave journalists in Pakistan. This was Danny: After 9/11, he tried to check into a sold-out Pearl Continental in Peshawar, and he told me later, "Do you think they would have given me a room if I had said I was the owner?" He loved life.
Lawyers for Daniel Pearl's family will be in court Tues Sept. 15 at 2 PM in Islamabad. That's 4 AM on Tues in NYC.
Please send them blessings to realize #justiceforDanielPearl and his family. The world will be watching.
For your planning @diaahadid!
