Pakistani Forces Kill Planner of Daniel Pearl Murder
(Washington Post) Pakistani security forces on Sunday killed Amjad Hussain Farooqi, an associate of the al-Qaeda network, accused of organizing the kidnapping and killing of American journalist Daniel Pearl in 2002 and of two unsuccessful attempts on the life of Pakistan's president Gen. Pervez Musharraf late last year. A special military team was formed in March to track down Farooqi after officials determined he was behind the attempts to kill Musharraf.
