...disappearance assumed a further urgency three days later when reporters and news agencies in Pakistan and the U.S. booted up their computers to find a message from a Hotmail subscriber named "kidnapperguy" who claimed to represent a group called the National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty. The quixotic ransom note accused Pearl of working for the CIA--a charge vehemently denied by the Journal and the CIA--and demanded that the U.S. release the former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam Zaeef and the Pakistanis it is holding at its base in Cuba's Guantanamo Bay on suspicion...
...John F. Kennedy St. and Mass. Ave. The shuttle to the platform is inside the Information Booth. Bang on the window and ask for the monorail.

Dealing with dangerous people is part of the job, and Pearl certainly knew as much when he arranged for an interview with Sheik Mubarak Ali Shah Gilani, who leads a Pakistani Muslim group. The interview apparently was the trap that the terrorists used to lure in Pearl...

The Pakistani police have named members of Islamic militant groups as the primary suspects, and we are heartened by the news of yesterday’s arrests. We hope that the voices of moderate Muslim clerics sway Pearl’s captors to release him. The Pakistani police have been working feverishly on this case, but have so far reported little success. We hope the U.S. uses every intelligence capability at its disposal to aid the Pakistanis in their efforts to find...
