February 28, 2013  09:18
A Congressional resolution has been introduced in the US House of Representatives to recognise a Pakistani doctor, who helped the CIA trace Osama bin Laden, as an American hero.  

Dr Shakil Afridi was arrested by the Pakistan government three weeks after Laden was killed in the US raid for accessing the Al Qaeda leader's compound and helping the US identify who was hiding in Abbottabad.

The resolution also seeks his release from jail.
