A Pakistani doctor who helped the CIA find and kill Osama bin Laden has been charged with murder in a case involving a boy who died in 2007 after appendicitis surgery -- a move that U.S. officials say may be aimed at keeping him in prison after his conviction on terror charges was overturned.

A senior U.S. official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said the murder charge is trumped up.

"This is an attempt by Pakistanis to keep him in jail," the official said. "It's just another ploy."
