May 23: The Express Tribune report by Hidayat Khan states that Shakil Afridi, the tribal doctor who had helped American CIA hunt down al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, has completed seven years of his jail term. His attorney has not dismissed speculation about his client’s early release, but says Afridi could be freed, if the government wants. Last month, Afridi was transferred from Peshawar’s central prison to a jail in Punjab for ‘security reasons’ triggering a guessing game in the media about his possible early release.
