Pakistan captures suspect in death of journalist Daniel Pearl, officials say

Pakistani officials have confirmed the arrest of a former militant leader who they say took part in the kidnapping and killing of Daniel Pearl in Karachi 11 years ago.

Editor's note: This story includes a correction.

ISLAMABAD -- A suspect has been captured in connection with the 2002 murder of U.S. journalist Daniel Pearl, Pakistani officials said Tuesday.

A spokesman for Pakistan's Inter Services Public Relations Directorate confirmed the arrest by a paramilitary unit known as the Sindh Rangers and said the suspect had been transferred to police custody. 

Qari Abdul Hayee, who is also known as Asadullah, had been sought in connection with terrorist activities dating back almost two decades, including his suspected involvement in Pearl's slaying. 

Saeed was apprehended in a "covert joint intelligence operation where street intelligence, signals intelligence, agents as well as his own associates spilling the beans led us to him," according to the Sindh Rangers' operational commander who led the raid.

Pearl, 38, was South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal and was researching a story about Islamist militants when he was abducted and beheaded in January 2002.

Saeed is notorious for being the former religious leader of the Karachi chapter of the feared Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (The Army of Jhang), a hardline-Sunni militant group that has targeted Pakistan's Shiite minority and become an ally of the Pakistani Taliban.

A military profile of Saeed shared with NBC News shows the alleged depth of his almost two decades of participation in organized militancy. It accuses him of organizing prison breakouts, attempting to kidnap former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's family, planning a foiled suicide attack on a hotel in Karachi where American soldiers were lodge as well as Pearl's murder.

Saeed had also been the subject of a manhunt launched because of his suspected involvement in a recent bombing in the Shiite-majority Abbas Town district of Karachi that killed almost 50 residents and destroyed entire blocks of apartments. 

Pearl's parents, Judea and Ruth Pearl, said in a statement released Monday: "We are gratified with this latest arrest and hope that justice will be served in a timely manner on all of those who were involved in the abduction and murder of our son, Danny."

Hapless schmuck? He is a wanted terrorist who tried to kidnap the Pakistani President's family and has been launching attacks against Shia for years. To Pakistan, the beheading of Pearl is the least of why they want him. But just for that sadistic act alone he should be skinned alive and left to rot in the desert. What the @!$%# is wrong with the middle east that they can generate so many sadistic serial killers who garner so much respect from some of the religious people? People who commit acts like that have rotten brains - they aren't heroes, they are mentally deranged and should be purged from society.

First, we need to verify that the person the Pakistanis took into custody is in fact a true suspect in the Pearl murder, and not someone that they want conveniently put away because he isn't "chummy" with the current regime. Remember that, Pakistan would not let us search within their borders for Bin Laden, and they refused to allow the FBI in eleven (11) years ago to investigate Pearl's disappearance and subsequent killing. Not to mention the fact that when we did get Bin Laden, we found him in a cozy residential neighborhood in Pakistan, just a few blocks away from their military academy.

If in fact this guy is one of killers, then we need to rip off his skin, one layer at a time, and behead him only after he has been tortured adequately enough to get the point across to the entire world, that the United States will not tolerate anymore of this bull$#!+.

No need to verify the suspects anymore, since Obamar made it a rule to drone anyone suspected of being a terrosrist including underaged persons. Why don't you all racist boggers in this forum call Obama's office and ask him to send a drone and kill him and his family, and get it over with.

To all bloggers - I want justice as much as you all want. However, where does your humanity (or conscinence) stand when a US drone kills 49 innocent bystanders for each suspected (not convicted, just suspected!) terrorist killed. Where is your outrage when a rogue US soldier rapes and kills a 14 yr old Iraqi girl along with her entire family (10-12 people)?

You all think the lives of Afghanis, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Yemenis, and Somalis are expendable. This attitude makes all you bloggers a society of hypocrites that are indifferent to human sufferings, . You are so worried about finding the killer of a signle American journalist! Izrael is killing Palestinian civilians and journalists everyday with American impunity. They don't even get a 3rd page coverage here in US, let alone front page coverage. Cuz, their lives are expendable, right! You all should be ashamed of yourselves for bad mouthing Pakistanis.

You all have forgotten that Pakistan is taking a lot of @!$%# and human loss for American wars or terror. For a moment put yourselves in the shoes of a Pakistani and see how you feel... of terror caused by drone attachks in the middle of the night day in day out. Their own government cannot assure them when the drone attacks will stop...

    @M. Hossain,

    I read your entire post and I understand your position. Broad sweeping generalizations apparently aren't just for us "Bloggers" as YOU have lumped us all together. If you had read from MY NEWSVINE page you would see that while I want the Radicals that kill and do harm in the name of a higher power or because they think they know the one true way wiped from this earth. In NO WAY do I support killing based on race, religion, gender, culture, and so on. In fact I have made many KIND remarks as well.

    In case you haven't figured it out Jonathan-1982062 has personal reasons for what he says. Hence the extreme dislike of Paki's. I may not agree with him at times but I do care about our Indian friends as well and I understand the mutual dislike between people of India and Pakistan.

    Regards,

    Brandon

    If the PEACE LOVING members of Islam would join in with those of us Peace LVING Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Wiccans and Athiests maybe we could take out the garbage (al-Qaeda, Taliban, and other extremists regardless of faith and race) together first and then learn to out do each other with kindness and rejoice in what makes us all unique. I ain't holding my breath though as I doubt it will happen.

    M. Hossain: Your post is like the typical replies from Paki. They blame all others for the problems they have been inventing.

    Attitudes are the biggest casualty of Islam and its interpretations by barbaric Islamic clerics. They are further complicated by Islamic sectarian, tribal and regional histories and backgrounds.

    In Lahore itself two friends quarrel in a bar and then it is twisted as blasphemous sayings of the Christian resulting in rioting and making more than 3000 innocent Christians homeless. One rabble rousing barbaric Islamic cleric is the culprit and his followers do the savage riots.

    This is just one of the thousands of barbaric acts done by Pakis since 47.

    You have the audacity to post about drone attacks and a few innocents killed. Even for US drone strikes there strong reasons.

    You people forget that Pakistan is on the map due to US and allies. US has been sinking our tax monies in your dirtiest Islamic swamp history has seen.

    Still, majority of ungrateful Islamic heroin addicts hate US most. This shows the level of ungratefulness.

    If one trusts a word of what you people say, one is marching downwards.

    Instead of posting some garbage, think and ponder why Pakistan is on the verge of bloody civil war and you people are killing each other.

    @Jonathan-1982062,

    "I thought I was getting away from the Muslim and Pakistani crap by immigrating to the US."

    Agreed. That's why my Chinese Grandma and Grandpa came here from the British controlled Chinese territories years ago. Also to avoid the impending Communist Plague though family members that stayed are not exactly doing horrible. Thanks Afghanistan for the REEs and thanks Iraq for the oil - lolzzzz :( I might have to hit them up for a loan someday

    "In a New York, I was abused starting from "Paki" in a bar."

    I'm truly sorry to hear that. That is everything that my family (both races) is against. I've had more than my share of racism and bullying as well. Usually by some big, dumb, uneducated Rich Spoiled Brat with more biceps than brains. Funny once I started to resist and beat them with intelligence they start with the hitting. Oddly enough by doing so I went from being quiet, shy and feeling that I deserve it to having enough and saying No More. Now (though most are still bigger and heavier) they want no part of trying to hit either me, my little brothers or my friends. When I was 7 my Mom's boyfriend (at the time but he has been our Gwai Lo:) Dad ever since) went by as I was saying my prayers (raised Christian) before bed. He heard me crying and begging God to make me White because everyone seemed to hate me because of the shape of my eyes and color of my skin. I couldn't understand since I tried to be silent, smile and be kind to everyone I met why anyone would want to hurt me. He broke into tears and bear hugged me and said NO More. He tried law enforcement and such to no avail. Finally he started having personal chats with parents to apply pressure to stop this and encouraged their co-operation. It took awhile to realize that even in play he was teaching my brothers and I besides just Baseball ,Kuntao, Pentjak Silat, boxing Swords (the Dao, Katana Claymoore, and Tulwar) and much more. Also kindness, compassion and to care for and protect the weak regardless of race, or personal beliefs as long as they do no harm to others. Then I started formal Boxing and then American Kenpo just last June. When he was in the Marines during Korea my Maternal Granpa decided to make the best of it and made some Korean friends, learned the language, shared foods, culture and started learning Korean Martial Arts. My Mom of course followed in his footsteps. Most of our combined families and his Ex's have this in common with quite a few current or former members of the Military, Law Enforcement (Cops and Robbers errr I mean Lawyers :) and such.

    "Hope you are more knoweldgeable than that person in NY bar!"

    I can only hope that the above answers your question MY American friend of Indian descent. You are here and you contribute and participate. That Sir is what it's all about :) I have noticed that most of the people from India that I have met the ones I enjoy the most are also the best educated (not always formally either). I have noticed that seems to be the case regardless of ethnic or racial background though.

    I think that you would like my Dad's 2 Iranian friends that he has known since the early mid 80's. Their families were executed after the regime change. The woman (ex-girlfriend of his) is still Muslim but except for not eating pork you wouldn't know it. She really has nothing nice to say about many of the crazies. The male friend actually renounced being a Muslim for Bacon and Budwieser (I'm not joking) and hates the Ayatollah and the rest. You would approve of his method of negotiating with Radicals and terrorists.

    Regards,

    Brandon

Most of you political animals don't make much sense anyway, I just like to see what kind of dumb ass responses you can come up with to justify your position. Usually you are sorely lacking in any sane argument. There is the old saying that " I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person ". You all are prime examples.

      I will apologize for the remark about Mr. Pearl. As he is deceased, it was in poor taste to use his tragedy for any attempt at misplaced humor.

      I would like to apologize for my rude comment to you as I should give the benifit of the doubt that you are who you say you are. I make it a practice to never intentionally insult a member of the Military especially our Ground Forces as thats where most of my family have served (a fair amount of Navy also to be fair).

        I find it curious eleven years have passed before arresting and bringing the person who killed this important American journalist to justice.Where was this murderer all this time hiding?And his buddies who helped kidnap him? How could all this be kept such a secret? As much as I want to believe they have the right person, I must confess I have my doubts. I hate feeling this way, because I do want to see true justice, and Daniel's family to finally have peace and closure. But not arresting one who isn't guilty, chosen just to score some good feelings from the United States towards Pakistan.

        Even if this person has killed other innocent folks and people from the United States would still want to see him punished. Considering the present state of affairs, the timing is very interesting supicious.

          Pakis are trying to be too smart for their brains.

          Just examine the cases of those arrested in the US on terror plots and actions!

          In Afghanistan, Pakis have backstabbed the US and NATO forces big time. Half of NATO forces deaths are due to ungrateful and backstabbing Pakis.

          When the NATO forces were entering Kandahar in 2001, Pakis airlifted key al-Qaida, Taliban, ISI and others militants by back door from Kandahar.

          This includes Mullah Omar, Osama and many including Paki Haqqani militant network leaders.

          Hope people remember about Pakis sheltering Osama.

          When some imagine that they are too smart, they end up as the dumbest.

          If it involves too much killings, just see what they get back!

          As everyone knows British invented Pakistan and US and allies have kept them on the map!

          Beyond targeting a different group, I can't see any differences, whatsoever.

          I wonder what Osama bin Laden thought would come of the 9/11 attacks he planned. Do you think he thought this single blow would bring down the U.S., and all of the secular, Western World?

          Or do you think he hoped to spark a world-wide war between Muslims and non-Muslims, a war wherein he felt the Muslims would somehow survive, but not the nominal Christians in the west?

          Probably never gave it a thought, did you Dan.

          WOW! You really missed the great unveiling I guess. Where his taxes were not only shown for the past ten years, but even more it showed he had paid more in charity than any other candidate by a long stretch.And as far as those"Mormon boys not serving, actually they did, and they also served in Korea,WW2 and WW1, not to mention every war since Vietnam. In fact a movie called, Saints and Soldiers, made in 2003, reflects some of what actually happened to several in WW2.

          Just because a small percentage served on missions doesn't mean they weren't being supportive of their country. As there sure were plenty of young men who dodged the draft and headed into Canada.In fact, if you check, the Mormon church also sent out their own Battalion when the United States put out the call in the 19th century. Which marched over 2,000 miles to California prepared to battle to the death the enemies of America.Despite being driven out of their homes not that long ago by Americans in Illinois.

          So before blasting how unpatriotic Mormons are, and Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes, please do check your facts.It's called truth verses fantasy check. I don't know which church you go to, but the one I do preaches standing up for truth and thou shalt not bear false witness.

          Why are Shiites waking up now?

          While doing genocides of non-Muslims (Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and others) didn't Shiites, Sufis, Ahmedias join hands with Sunnis during 48-50 after the formation of Pakistan in 1947?

          Shiites, Sufis, Ahmedias and minority tribes Muslims in pure Islamic nation, Pakistan, should enjoy what Allah is giving them.

          Also all Pakis in non-Muslim nations should go back to their Pakistan. We had enough craps from them too.

            Good, you got him, now cut his fugging head off! Paybacks a bitch, ain't it?

            I think we need to start burying every muslim corpse with a disemboweled pig. It worked real well for Gen. Pershing a hundred +/- years ago. When word got out about what he was doing, there was not a single muslim terrorist attack for fifty years, no bullsh-t.

            Goddamn Spell Check keeps coming up telling me to capitalize "muslim", but that word doesn't deserve capitalization, so I ignore it.

            Faithful from around the world must wonder why their God permits His word to be used to kill and maim innocents of all segments of humanity. If this suspect is guilty of the kidnap and beheading of Pearl, what possible punishment can wash his soul of the putrefaction of hate and violence that therein dwell?

            Might it not be the sterilization of him and any/all of his descendants, so as to remove the evil genes from Humanity's pool? Is that not a more humane punishment than mere blood lust execution? To remove his tongue, that he may no more speak of his evil, and his eyes, that they might no more see God's glory of sunset or night sky of starry heavens, would merely ensure a continuing burden upon others to keep him alive.

            Might want to start with sterilizing the ultraliberal elitist egotists who are so self-absorbed that they feel they need two last names. Just as well that those people never lower themself to speak to the lowly masses who roll their eyes every time they encounter a narcicistic twit who felt she needed to embellish the name she had rather than fully bond with her husband or in the case of an ultraliberal female... probably a wife.

            ohwow -

            Where does all that rage come from? Were you born with it? Was it acquired like a disease?

            These comments are supposed to reflect sentiments about the savage(s) that killed Daniel Pearl. But you (and you certainly aren't the only one) are railing against a fellow American whom apparently has a different (and less radical) opinion.

            The election's over. Time to get on with life, don't you think?

            I find it hard to believe this story. It must be tied to some sort of US funding, here is $200 million for helping capture this guy.

            I can't believe any of the lap dogs haven't tried to give GW Bush credit for the info that helped the Paki's capture the guy. I mean, the lap dogs do have a history of trying to do that. Don't believe me, just check the postings after they found out Obama gave the order, and the seals did it, and got bin Laden.

            LMAO at the lap dogs and the rump rangers. But yes, I hope he is the correct person, not just some innocent person who they may hate for one reason or another. But it might be hard proving that after all these years. So is it time for the Paki's to receive more of our foreign aid? And that is why it is happening?

            @Cheryl

            Real simple, the GOP tried to horn in on the credit when Obama got bin Laden. So why not now? How do we know that the CIA didn't pass the info on to the Paki's about this guy and his location?

            And why are you trying to tie Obama to the muslim brotherhood...

            That's like trying to tie ex-President Clinton to something. You got a bad case of ODS their girl.

              #17.2 - Tue Mar 19, 2013 11:41 AM EDT

              Obama did not get bin Laden! The intelligence community and operators on the ground got him! The only thing POTUS did was sign a kill/capture order once he was found. Other than his signature, he had nothing to do with it. We were looking for him 10 years before anyone outside of Chicago even knew who Obama was! He was being hunted when Bill Clinton was still in office. Don't even try to give the credit to your God " Obama ". The CIA, NSA, DIA and SOCOM, ( SEALs/D-boys ) lost him after Tora Bora when Pakistan gave him shelter. Intelligence and hard work ferreted out his last hiding place, not Obama. Don't you even try to give him any credit outside of signing a piece of paper!

                  Just because some supposed terrorist has been transferred to police custody in Pakistan does not mean that person is in jail or will be brought to justice. Pakistan has a bad habit of taking 'blood money' from terrorists and setting them free, just because Pakistan values money more than life and the terrorists seem to be their only source of money aside from the US military. Find out where the terrorist is being held and drop a missile on the building. That way we can be certain the bad guys lose one more -- cops or terrorists in Pakistan, it really makes no difference.
