Bin Laden, the doctor and $33m in aid
A US Senate panel has cut $33m (£21m) in aid to Pakistan in response to the jailing of a Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find Osama Bin Laden.
The Senate Appropriations Committee has said it will cut US aid by $1m for each year of Shakil Afridi's sentence.

Dr Afridi was tried for treason under a tribal justice system for running a fake vaccination programme to gather information for US intelligence.
