Pearl Case: Pak cops working on it. Yup.
2002-02-16
  • Sindh police have found more leads in the Daniel Pearl case, Interior Minister Moinud Din Haider claimed on Friday. Talking to reporters, he said the Sindh inspector general of police had told him that police were working on the leads to nab real kidnappers and their abettors. Replying to a question about Sheikh Omar's statement about the death of the victim, he said the government could not say anything in absolute terms about the fate of Pearl. Declaring the incident an irresponsible act of the kidnappers, who claimed that the step had been taken on personal grounds, he said they had defaced the country's image and attempted to sabotage the president's US visit.

    Answering another query, he said Sheikh Omar had not been monitored since his release along with Maulana Masood Azhar in 1999 from India because there was no complaint against him with the Pakistan government.
    Ummmm. Yeah. I get it. You have two wild-eyed lunatics who were released from jug in India after a plane's hijacked to Kandahar and its passengers shot up, and you don't bother to monitor any of their activities. That makes sense. Not a lot of sense, but sense.
