01/30/12: CNN reports that Pakistan has not yet decided whether to try a Pakistani doctor for high treason for assisting the US in gathering intelligence ahead of the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound, a senior Pakistani government official said Monday. "It's the federal government who will decide whether to try the doctor for high treason or not." "At this stage, the decision hasn't been taken to try the doctor." After the raid, Pakistani officials took into custody several people who are suspected of helping the CIA. The doctor was one of them. Since then, the US has asked for the doctor's release and did so again Sunday.
