Pearl Case: Pak coppers look for go-between
2002-02-16
  • The self-confessed mastermind of the kidnapping, Sheikh Omar, told interrogators on Friday that another militant named Amjad Hussain Farooqi was the go-between in a network of cells involved in abducting Pearl. Police also revealed Saturday that Omar had identified another key suspect and that there were at least a dozen people directly involved in the kidnapping. However a senior official said they had failed to capture the unnamed key suspect after raiding his hideout on Friday.

    The arrest of Farooqi, a member of the Harkat Jihad-e-Islami organisation believed to be in Karachi, would "solve the mystery" of Pearl's disappearance, a senior investigator said.
    The Paks had better reestablish warm relations with India, so the Indians can help set up a competent cop shop. They've picked up everyone in sight, to include grandmaw and one of their own, after letting Omar sit around for four years without keeping an eye on him, and they've gotten nothin'. I don't know why but the words "Keystone" and "ineptitude" keep popping to mind. Who the hell's in charge? Fatty Arbuckle?
