Pakistan’s Supreme Court ruled to release four men convicted of kidnapping and murdering Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002. His attackers famously recorded his beheading and sent the video to U.S. officials. The court cited insufficient evidence and inconsistencies in the case, which was reexamined last year. The White House described the decision to release the perpetrators as “an affront to terrorism victims everywhere,” and administration officials said they would seek to put one of the men, British national Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, on trial in the U.S.
