Find it most interesting this Rubaiya or Omar or whatever his name is -
the mastermind if you can call him that of the murder and kidnapping of
Dannny Pearl, seems very very concerned and fearful of his own life.
Sort of the your life for mine stuff as he warns if taken to America he
will bring disaster to this country. The suicide bombers, who believe
they are dying for a cause, show no regrets in leaving this earth for a
one way ticket to Paradise but this guy acts scared. He does not want
to give his life for his country for he has no country. He is a
criminal and no doubt a hired killer - a paid assassin.
Note again this strange blue and white - the blanket tacked up in a
hasty manner behind Danny Pearl in pictures where he ws held hostage
this same shade of blue - same color as these Blue Berets, so somebody
is still playing games.
Further why is this man or its face hidden from us? Timothy McVeigh
walked out in the orange jump suit like a man knowing he was going to
his death and regretting he did not know about the nursery at the Murrah
Building but this cowardly little creep this Rubaiya (note the name from
the Rubaiyat) - he is scared crapless ranting and raving in attempt to
instill fearif anything woul happen to him.
Got news for him, for another Jack Ruby might one day walk up and
exchang his life for his......for you see Jack Ruby used the bible
calendar too? Shadrach, Mechenk, and Abenego......hired killers, for
where there is a testament there must by necessity be the death of the
testator.
This guy should be protected by someone other than the Pakistani police
for the police were in on the murder of Danny Pearl.....color them blue.
Not not blue - yellow perhaps. Big men takin videontape of Danny Pearl
being murdered but now this man Rubaiya is worth more to someone dead,
than alive....
A litle truth serum would proide many answers but this guys days are
numbered.

NBC NEWS AND NEWS SERVICES
March 14 � �A federal grand jury in New Jersey on Thursday indicted
a key suspect in the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal
reporter Daniel Pearl. Islamic militant Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh was
charged with hostage-taking and conspiracy to commit hostage-taking,
resulting in the death of Pearl.
� � �� � �
�
�
� � � �A DECISION to press forward with an indictment caps weeks
of deliberations within the Justice Department and State Department
about how to proceed, even as Saeed faces criminal proceedings in
Pakistan.
� � � �U.S. officials, eager to move the case ahead, have been
in discussions with Pakistani officials about prospects for sending
Saeed and possibly others to the United States.
� � � �
SENT TO UNITED STATES?
� � � �The two nations have no formal extradition agreement, but
Pakistan previously has sent suspects to the United States under a
procedure known as "rendering."
� � � �On Tuesday, a Pakistani judge gave the Islamabad
government more time to build a case against Pearl's alleged attackers.
� � � �As he left the court, Saeed shouted that "America will be
finished soon."

four suspects, including Saeed, were brought to a Karachi court in an

Their heads were covered by scarves as they entered for a pretrial
hearing.
� � � �Defense lawyers urged that the suspects be charged and a
trial date set or they be released.
� � � �But Judge Shabbir Ahmed agreed to a government request
for more time to find Pearl's body, retrieve the murder weapon, complete
interrogation and receive an FBI report on the grisly videotape that
confirmed the journalist's death.
� � � �During the closed-door session, the judge ordered Saeed
and fellow suspect Sheikh Mohammed Adeel held for another 10 days,
according to chief prosecutor Raja Quereshi. Another hearing is expected
around March 22.
� � � �Defense lawyer Khwaja Naveed said the extension was the
last chance for police to finish questioning the suspects. Two other
suspects are also in custody.

� � � �Washington wants the British-born Saeed extradited �
either under a 1931 treaty or by a simpler process adopted in previous
cases between the two countries � but Islamabad has said it would only
consider extradition once his Pakistan trial was complete.
� � � �
SUSPECT MAKES THREATS
� � � �According to chief prosecutor Quereshi, Saeed threatened
during the closed-door proceedings that if he were sent to America, he
would return here as he did from India � a reference to his release by
Indian authorities in December 1999 in exchange for passengers and crew
of an Indian Airlines jet hijacked to Afghanistan.
� � � �Saeed also warned that if he were killed in a "fake
encounter at the behest of America," Americans would "suffer the
consequences," Quereshi said.
� � � �As Saeed was being hustled into an armored personnel
carrier for the trip back to jail, he shouted at bystanders: "Sell your
dollars because America will be finished soon."

DEATH SHOWN ON VIDEO
� � � �Pearl, the Journal's South Asia bureau chief, was
abducted Jan. 23 in Karachi on his way to a meeting with Islamic
militant contacts. He was looking into possible links between Pakistani
extremists and Richard C. Reid, arrested in December on a flight from
Paris to Miami with explosives in his shoes. Daniel Pearl
� � � �A few days later, e-mails including pictures of Pearl in
captivity were received by American and Pakistani news organizations.
� � � �Last month, a videotape received by the U.S. Consulate in
Karachi showed Pearl dead. His body has not been found, and several
suspects remain at large.
� � � �Saeed was arrested before the videotape was received. At
his first hearing, he admitted to his role in the kidnapping but later
recanted. The statement is inadmissible because it was not made under
oath.
� � � �A police official said experts had confirmed that the
scenes shown in the videotape were genuine and that Pearl was murdered,
but said the court would have to decide whether the film was admissible
as evidence.
� � � �The three other suspects were arrested Jan. 30 after the
FBI and police traced the e-mails to a laptop belonging to one of them,
Fahad Naseem. Naseem confessed and said Saeed told him three days before
the kidnapping that he planned to abduct someone who is "anti-Islam and
a Jew."

LAWYER ALLEGES 'FABRICATION'
� � � �Naveed complained he had not been allowed access to his
clients since their arrest. He also accused the government stalling
because of a weak case and intense international pressure to find
Pearl's killers.
� � � �"The police are fabricating evidence," Naveed said.
� � � �Much of the case appears to hang on the testimony of
Naseem and a taxi driver, Nasir Abbas, who told police he saw Pearl
shake hands with Saeed and get into a car in front of a Karachi
restaurant on the night he disappeared.
