| Suspects Tell Pakistan Cops Where Pearl's Body Is Located |
| 2002-05-16 |
| Three new suspects in the slaying of Daniel Pearl directed police Thursday to a body they claimed was that of the murdered Wall Street Journal reporter. Police unearthed the body which had been buried in an open field in a poor neighborhood on the Western edge of Karachi. The body was kept at the site while tests were conducted to determine the identity, said a senior police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. No details were immediately available about the three new suspects, who were arrested Thursday. Four Islamic radicals have been on trial since April 22 on charges of murdering and kidnapping Pearl. They have pleaded innocent. Seven other men suspected of holding Pearl hostage and being involved in the killing were being sought, but police didn't say if the three new suspects were among them. No idea yet whether this is good information or another goof. There have been several so far. |
