Captured al-Qaida operative may have murdered Pearl
The alleged mastermind of the September 11 attacks, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, could also turn out to be the man who murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, a Pakistani intelligence official has said.
Mohammed, said to be the third most powerful man in the al-Qaida terror network, was startled awake and arrested early on Saturday by 25 heavily-armed security officers who kicked down a bolted front door of the two-storey bungalow he occupied in Rawalpindi, outside the capital.
