Four Islamic militants accused of kidnapping and murdering Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl appeared unmoved as a graphic videotape of his death was shown in court Tuesday, said defense lawyers who challenged the tape as a "fake." The three-minute video — which includes footage of Pearl with his throat cut — was replayed in court three times, but the defendants were "calm" and "emotionless," said defense attorney Rai Bashir. Prosecutors refused to comment on the reaction within the courtroom.
Yeah. And if it isn't a fake, it wasn't his clients. And if it was his clients, he pulled a knife on 'em, so what could they do? One wonders how the ISI is gonna get Omar Sheikh out of this one — or if he's just going to have an "unfortunate accident"... |
