Congressman Frank Pallone has said that Pakistan, under pressure from the Inter-Services Intelligence, may refuse to extradite Ahmad Omar Sheikh, accused in the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, to stand trial in the United States.

Pallone's demand, which comes a day before Sheikh is scheduled to stand trial in Pakistan for Pearl's murder, follows reports referring to Pak Interior Minister Moinhuddin Haider saying that Sheikh would have to complete his sentence in Pakistan before his extradition to the US.
