London April 21. Omar Sheikh, facing trial for the abduction of the U.S. reporter, Daniel Pearl, may have been an agent of both Pakistani intelligence and Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network, a media report said today.

Quoting documents, The Sunday Times said it had found evidence to show that Sheikh, who spent five years in an Indian jail for terrorist activities, was sheltered and supported for several years by Pakistani authorities.
