The trial of four men, including Omar Sheikh, accused of the kidnap and murder of US reporter Daniel Pearl is set to resume at a new prison venue in Hyderabad on Friday amid fears of a terrorist attack. The men arrived at a jail in Hyderabad, 160 kilometres (100 miles) north of Karachi, under armed guard on Thursday after the trial was shifted due to security concerns.

The accused, including alleged mastermind Sheikh Omar, face charges of murder, kidnapping and terrorist activities. If convicted they could be executed.
All four of the accused deny the charges. Seven other suspects have been charged but remain at large. Bureau Report
