The key suspect in the kidnapping and murder of American reporter Daniel Pearl has been remanded in custody for 14 days to allow prosecutors to gather more evidence. Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, arrested on February 12, made a brief appearance on Monday before an anti-terrorism court in Karachi along with two other men linked to the kidnapping.
