The man accused of masterminding the kidnapping and murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl appeared in a brief closed-door court session Friday. Under heavy security, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh was brought into the courtroom shortly before noon (2 a.m. ET) without a hood covering his face for the first time in his numerous appearances.
