Pakistan orders retrial of Bin Laden doctor August 29, 2013 - 16:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Officials in Pakistan have overturned the jail sentence and ordered a retrial of a doctor who helped the CIA in their search for Osama Bin Laden, BBC News said. Shakil Afridi was charged with treason and tried under the tribal justice system for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information. He was jailed for at least 30 years in May 2012 and has been held since then at Peshawar Central Jail. Bin Laden was killed by US forces in Abbottabad in May 2011. His killing created a crisis in relations between the US and Pakistan, which felt the covert operation was a violation of its sovereignty.
