HYDERABAD, Pakistan (Reuters) - A court in Pakistan sentenced British-born
Islamic militant Sheikh Omar to death Monday for the kidnap and murder of
U.S. reporter Daniel Pearl, drawing a threat of vengeance and calls for
Muslims to respond.

Omar, full name Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and three accomplices convicted
along with him showed no emotion as each verdict and sentence was read at the
end of closed-door trial. The court jailed the accomplices for life.
But the fury was evident as relatives and lawyers spoke outside the court.
Omar's lawyer, Rai Bashir, who told reporters the defense would appeal, read
out a message from his client saying that anyone who tried to carry out the
death sentence risked a similar fate.
"I will see whether who wants to kill me will first kill me or get himself
killed," Omar, 28, said in his message.
"I have been saying before, this entire (trial) is just waste of time...It is
a decisive war between Islam and kafir (infidels) and everyone is
individually proving on which side he is."
The trial comes at a sensitive time for the United States as it faces Muslim
fury over its support for Israel in the Middle East and seeks to keep
Pakistan on board in its post-September 11 fight against terrorism.
Omar's father, Saeed Sheikh, said the case against his son highlighted U.S.
hypocrisy.
"The jihadis (holy warriors) used to be the apple of their eye," he said,
referring to U.S. backing for the fight of the Muslim Mujahideen against
Soviet occupation of neighboring Afghanistan ( news - web sites). "Now they
are rotten apples."
There was no immediate reaction from Pearl's family and widow Mariane, who
gave birth to their son, Adam, in Paris on May 28.
MUSLIMS URGED TO UNITE
Sheikh Aslam, brother of one of the accomplices, Sheikh Adil, called on
Muslims to rise up against the verdicts.
"If there had been an honest decision, then no one would have been
convicted," he told Reuters. "Pakistanis and Muslims should now rise up
because the government has bent its knees before America."
The streets of Hyderabad were quiet after the verdict.
Lawyers for the defense, who described the verdict as unjust and argued their
clients' innocence throughout the trial, said they would appeal.
