http://dunyanews.tv/The United States says the 10-year sentence reduction for the doctor said to have helped the U.S. track down Osama bin Laden is a positive step but that his jail term is still unjust. A Pakistani judicial official Saturday reduced Shakil Afridi s sentence from 33 years to 23 years. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday the U.S. is continuing to tell Pakistan that the conviction sends the wrong message about "our shared interest in counterterrorism and in particular, bringing Osama bin Laden to justice." Last week, the Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR) Commissioner Munir Azam reduced Dr. Shakil Afridi’s 33-year sentence by 10 years and also his Rs. 3.2 lakh fine by Rs. one lakh. Dr. Afridi was convicted for his links with a banned group Lashkar-i-Islam and its chief Managal Bagh. Afridi had allegedly helped the CIA by running a fake vaccination campaign in Abbottabad a month before the US forces raid on a compound that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 2011.
