I have been waiting for a diary on this but have seen none. So here is what I have been able to find.
Shakil Afridi was convicted of treason over the scheme to identfy Osama bin Laden through DNA.
The US has said it will press for the release of a Pakistani doctor who has been jailed for 33 years for running a fake CIA vaccination programme as part of the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
The US state department said there is "no basis" for the arrest and detention of Dr Shakil Afridi, the former surgeon-general of Khyber, who was convicted of treason over the scheme to identify Bin Laden through DNA.

The Pakistani doctor accused of helping the CIA locate Osama Bin Laden, Shakil Afridi, has been sentenced to 33 years in prison.
The doctor was accused of using a fake vaccination drive to get clues to Bin Laden’s whereabouts. It led to the location and eventual death of the Al Qaeda chief in Pakistan last year.
Allegedly hiding in Pakistan for years, Bin Laden’s capture came as an embarassment to the Pakistanis.
Senior US officials have appealed for Afridi’s release.
The sentence could further complicate talks with Pakistan to reopen crucial supply routes in Afghanistan to US-led Nato troops.
