Pearl Case: Cops search for Arabs
2002-02-24
  • Police are searching for three Arab nationals believed to have played a role in the kidnapping and murder of Daniel Pearl, a senior investigator said, suggesting there may be a link between the kidnappers and al-Qaida but more likely that they can't think of anything else.

    No details were immediately available Sunday on the Arabs' identity or how they might have participated in the crime, or even if they exist outside the coppers' imaginations. Four Pakistani suspects currently being sought in the case had strong links to the Taliban in Afghanistan and possibly the al-Qaida network as well, investigators said.

    After authorities revealed the contents of the videotape, Musharraf vowed to fight terrorists with an "iron hand" and called President Bush to reiterate Pakistan's resolve to help fight the war on terror.
    "LeGume!"
    "Yes, Inspector?"
    "Round up the usual suspects!"
    "Ummm. We have them all in custody already, sir."
    "Well, tell the press we're looking for more."
