KARACHI, May 18: Ahmed Saeed Omar Sheikh convicted in the Daniel Pearl case was shifted to the Karachi Central Prison from the Hyderabad Jail on Thursday amid tight security.
Sources said the high profile prisoner was transferred to Karachi apparently due to a prison unrest in Hyderabad.
Ahmed Omar, a graduate from the London School of Economics, is also wanted by the Indian government for the 1999 hijacking of an Indian aircraft. Mr Ahmed Omar Sheikh was formally arrested in Pakistan on Feb 11, 2002.
