Gunmen kill former lawyer for Pakistani doctor who aided CIA
None
Police say a former lawyer for the Pakistani doctor who helped the US find Osama bin Laden has been killed by gunmen in the country's northwest.
A senior police officer Shakir Khan says unidentified assailants shot and killed Samiullah Khan Afridi Tuesday in the northwestern city of Peshawar before fleeing.
The lawyer was killed months after he announced that he will no longer be representing Dr. Shakil Afridi Afridi, who was convicted in May 2012 of "conspiring against the state" by giving money and providing medical treatment to militants, not for helping the CIA track down bin Laden.
The lawyer left Pakistan in November after receiving threats from militants.
