Pakistan said three men suspected of killing U.S. reporter Daniel Pearl were still on the run within the country, despite last month's arrest of suspected mastermind British-born Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider also raised the possibility of Indian involvement in the kidnap and murder of the Wall Street Journal reporter in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Jan. 23. Omar and three other men were charged in a Pakistani court last week with Pearl's kidnap and murder and with terrorism. Haider said Omar remained the prime suspect, but said other people may have been involved in holding and killing Pearl. "Those people who abducted him, who kept him in a safe house or a hideout and those who killed him -- those three persons -- we are very much interested to apprehend them, to piece the real story together, to establish the real motives," Haider said.
"Nope. Ain't seen 'em. You seen 'em? We'll letcha know soon's we catch 'em. Yup. Inspector Fatty Arbuckle's on the case, with the full backing of the Kops." |
