Gov. Chris Christie is right to raise the alarm over a Pakistani court decision to free one of Daniel Pearl’s convicted murderers ("Extradite Daniel Pearl’s Kidnapper," Dec. 29). It is unconscionable that Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh may evade justice.
We understand the pain of Danny Pearl’s parents. Our daughter Malki, a vivacious American citizen in the 10th grade, was one of 15 murdered in the 2001 Jerusalem Sbarro pizzeria bombing spearheaded by Hamas terrorist Ahlam Tamimi. She confessed to all charges and an Israeli court sentenced her to 16 life terms.
