| Pakistan: Pearl Suspect May Have Blown Himself Up |
| 2002-12-19 |
| Pakistani police said a leading Islamic militant suspected of involvement in the murder of U.S. reporter Daniel Pearl may have blown himself up while making bombs in the southern port city of Karachi on Thursday. Four people, including a woman, died when an explosion caused a three-story building to collapse in Karachi's eastern Korangi district. Police said they suspected the building was being used for making bombs. Another "Work Accident"? Deputy Inspector General of Police Fayyaz Leghari said they found a motorcycle whose fuel tank was packed with about 10 lbs of explosives. They also found an identity card bearing a photo resembling leading terror suspect Asif Ramzi. "We have found an identity card bearing a picture which resembles Asif Ramzi," he said. "We are trying to confirm whether he was really Ramzi." Be nice if true Ramzi is a member of the outlawed extremist group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. He was wanted in connection with the kidnap and murder of the Wall Street Journal reporter earlier this year as well as a series of bomb attacks in Karachi, Leghari said. Unulations on hold |

| #4 Let's wait for forensic results...seems convenient that these upper level types are blowing themselves up lately. Could they, instead, be getting rid of cannon fodder and "salting" the sites with documents? |

| #1 Red wire? Black wire? Did the picture resemble the "Before Asif" or the "After Asif"? |
