The Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden has been sentenced to 33 years in jail for treason.
Shakil Afridi, 48, had been
accused of running a fake hepatitis B vaccination program, collecting
DNA samples reportedly used by U.S. intelligence officers to track bin
Laden to Abbottabad, where Navy SEALs killed him in a raid on his
compound last year.
A tribal court found Afridi guilty of "acting against the state," The New York Times reported. He was sentenced to 33 years in prison and a fine of 320,000 Pakistani rupees, or $3,477, a government official said.
