By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD APRIL 5. The trial of Omar Sheikh, the prime accused in the abduction and kidnap of Daniel Pearl, and three of his alleged accomplices started inside the main jail of Karachi today.

The hearing was adjourned for a week shortly after it started as the defence pleaded for key evidence.

Earlier, the court rejected an application for an open trail for security reasons.
