THE murder of Daniel Pearl, whose kidnappers filmed him as they slit his throat, was greeted with revulsion and outrage in Pakistan, America and the rest of the world. The video, which was said to have been given by two men to an FBI agent in Karachi who was posing as a journalist, apparently contained three separate scenes showing Pearl, the South Asia bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal, being interviewed, then having his throat cut and, finally, his dead body. Reports that the third scene showed Pearl's decapitated corpse could not be confirmed. FBI agents in Karachi are studying the tape for clues.
They should be filmed as they're dangling from ropes. |
