The curious case of Pakistan’s
Doctor Shakil Afridi
Doctor Afridi is credited with assisting the USA’s CIA in locating wanted and admitted terrorist Osama bin Laden.  Resulting in Mr. bin Laden swimming with the fishes after receiving an American bullet in the head – American justice for a terrorist. 

Dr. Afridi was arrested by Pakistani authorities, tried, convicted, and sentenced to 33 years in prison.  Huh? 

Did the USA abandon him?
Was he tried for treason and / or helping the USA?
Was he tried for assisting a banned group in Pakistan? 

The mystery in the case increases day by day with each revelation the fog thickens. 

According to this article he was convicted for aiding a banned group “Lashkar-i-Islam:”
