Author: Dave Lewis
Here is an interesting side note from the terrorism desk. It turns out that Daniel Pearl’s widow is giving up the fight against Habib Bank. This bank that has been alleged to be a financier for al-Qaida.
From Jerusalem Post:
The widow of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl has withdrawn a lawsuit seeking damages against al-Qaida, a dozen reputed terrorists and Pakistan’s largest bank.
In a letter Tuesday to the US judge presiding over the case, lawyers for Mariane Pearl noted that Habib Bank Limited and the other defendants had not answered the lawsuit filed in July, but they otherwise did not explain their reason for dropping the action.
There are no further details available at this point.
