Four men, including a British national, who were imprisoned for killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl were not present during his beheading, but were convicted of murder because Pakistani authorities knowingly relied on perjured testimony and ignored other leads, a report has concluded.

An al-Qaida militant arrested with September 11 plotter Ramzi Binalshibh in Karachi has been identified as one of the murderers of reporter Daniel Pearl, a senior police official said today.

THREE Pakistani militants who led police to the body of Daniel Pearl claim the Wall Street Journal journalist was murdered by an Arab two days after he tried to escape from kidnappers, investigators said yesterday.
