(AP Photo/Zia Mazhar, File)Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered on Thursday the release of a Pakistani-British man convicted and later acquitted in the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002. The court also dismissed an appeal of Ahmad Saeed Omar Sheikh's acquittal filed by Pearl’s family and the Pakistani government. The “Supreme Court is the court of last resort,” Murtaza Wahab, Sindh's law minister, told The Associated Press. A three-judge Supreme Court ruled 2 to 1 to uphold Sheikh’s acquittal and ordered him released, according to the Pearl family lawyer. Siddiqi, the Pearl family lawyer, had expected it would advance his case.

(AP Photo/Waseem Khan)ISLAMABAD – After 18 years of denial, the Pakistani suspect convicted and later acquitted in the 2002 beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl has told a court he played a “minor" role in the killing, the Pearl family lawyer said Wednesday. The appeal was filed by Pearl's family and the Pakistan government. Nowhere in the three-page letter addressed to the Sindh High Court did the British-born Sheikh elaborate or say exactly what his allegedly “minor” role in Pearl's slaying involved. The appeal is expected to wrap up this week, said Siddiqi, the Pearl family attorney. The acquittal last April stunned the U.S. government, Pearl’s family and journalism advocacy groups.

According to the Journal, Dollar General workers will be asked to verify their vaccination in order to receive the four hours of compensation, but won’t be asked by the company to present a vaccination card or other proof. Additionally, Dollar General will provide paid time off to employees who experience adverse reactions to the vaccine, the Journal reports.

A whistleblower just took home $50 million -- the biggest award the SEC has ever paid

Read full article: A whistleblower just took home $50 million -- the biggest award the SEC has ever paid

(CNN) The US Securities and Exchange Commission has paid out its largest-ever whistleblower award nearly $50 million. The whistleblower tipped off the agency to a currency manipulation scheme at a massive bank, resulting in a "successful enforcement action," the SEC said Thursday. The SEC noted in its release that confidentiality agreements restrict it from naming whistleblower's name or identity. "This matter was resolved more than five years ago and we are pleased it is behind us," a BNY Mellon spokesperson told CNN Business. The SEC said Thursday's payout brings its total award to more than $500 million to 83 individuals in roughly the decade since the program was created.
