The lawyer for a man convicted of killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl said in Pakistan that he would appeal his client's death sentence after reports that an Al Qaeda lieutenant recently confessed to the slaying.

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed claimed at a U.S. military hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that he personally beheaded Pearl in 2002.
