Suspect in Daniel Pearl murder arrested

[fairandbalanced]

ABC News:

Pakistani officials said today they have arrested a suspect in connection with the brutal 2002 murder of Wall Street Journal correspondent Daniel Pearl.

Officials told ABC News the suspect, Qari Abdul Hayee, who often used the alias Asadullah, was captured Sunday in a targeted operation by the Pakistani Rangers, a paramilitary unit, in the city of Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city and a sprawling metropolis home to an estimated 18 million people.

Pearl was kidnapped in January 2002 while en route to interview a Pakistani militant and was later beheaded in a gruesome video eventually posted online.

In 2007, self-described 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed reportedly confessed to having killed Pearl, but it's unclear whether he personally carried out the beheading. Mohammed, currently in U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay, has never been charged with the crime.

Pakistani officials said they do not believe Hayee carried out the murder, but said he was "privy to the whole situation" and that he was part of the terror group that carried out the crime.

In 2011 a man named Abdul Hayee was identified as one of 27 people allegedly involved in Pearl's kidnapping in a special investigation by Georgetown University called The Pearl Project.

Hayee is currently being interrogated and is expected to be handed over to police, who will formally initiate legal proceedings, officials said.

Because Muslims and Arabs' unreasonable hatred of Jews form the nucleus of the Israeli/Palestinian dispute. It was your friends, Because, who murdered Daniel Pearl, thanks to your primitive religion.

why not?-----the jihadist dogs who murdered Daniel Pearl did mention ZIONISM

they videoed it to PROVE their innocence in an ISLAMIC COURT----since murdering
people for being "zionist" is legal in the filth of shariah

Ask those you support who claim he was an Israeli spy.
Relevant enough now?

That's the first ignorant response from you in a while, although he was taken as a spy and that's his problem for putting himself in risk. But that made zero sense and this doesn't belong in this forum. Oh wait, that was another guy I was thinking of in Iraq. But this was in Pakistan. It was murder and is unrelated to this forum though. But you reveal your true intentions. Not the guy you said you were.

Support who? You're making baseless projections.

And it took how long to catch up with Eichmann? Or the Nazi guard known as 'Ivan the Terrible'?

Should there be a 'statute of limitations' on murder?

I wonder if Baghdad Bob can tell us why many journalists have been locked up in Muslim jails? After all, they are just trying to do their job of reporting on what is happening.

You're funny but monumentally stupid. I realize you will not get the connection but did you not post a thread just hours ago about an Israeli at a NJ airport?
