Pity...although he's have his time in Hell now! B Daniel Pearl murder suspect dies in Pakistan
AFP Friday, May 18, 2007 21:45 IST http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1097747 KARACHI: A Pakistani man suspected of involvement in the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl died on Friday just weeks after he was returned to his home after allegedly being held at Guantanamo Bay. Saud Memon, who owned the property where Pearl's body was found, disappeared four years ago and only resurfaced in April when he was delivered by unknown people to his home in Karachi, according to his brother Mahmud. "We got the information some time back that he was taken to Guantanamo Bay. However, we had no information from the authorities about his arrest," Mahmud told reporters on Friday. Pakistani security sources confirmed that Memon was handed over to the United States. When Memon reappeared, he was in extremely bad health, severely malnourished and barely able to talk, his brother said. Earlier this month Memon, 44, was brought to the Supreme Court in Islamabad on a stretcher. The court, which was handling cases of missing people, was alarmed at his condition and ordered that medical treatment be provided at the government's expense. However, Memon, a father of five, died at Liaquat National Hospital in Karachi on Friday, his brother said. More than 300 people attended his funeral. Pearl was kidnapped in Karachi in January 2002 while researching a story on Islamic extremists. A video of his decapitation was later delivered to the US consulate. Memon was wanted for questioning by the police but he could not be found and was declared an absconder. British-born militant Sheikh Omar and three Pakistani militants were sentenced to death in 2002 for Pearl's murder but have appealed against the verdict. Key US ally President Pervez Musharraf is under mounting criticism from international and domestic rights groups for detaining people illegally in the name of the fight against terrorism.
