Reward announced
for info on murder
reward
across
WASHINGTON (AP)
U.S. officials on Wednesday
announced a $5 million reward
for information in the kidnap
ping and murder of Wall Street
Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
“We were outraged by the
senseless murder of Daniel
Pearl,” said State Department
spokesperson Richard Boucher.
“We’ve condemned it in the
strongest terms.”
Boucher said the
would be advertised
Pakistan.
The offer of up to $5 mil
lion is for information leading
to the arrest or conviction, in
any country, of people respon
sible for Pearl’s murder.
Boucher said.
The man alleged to have
masterminded the crime, Ahmed
Omar Saeed Sheikh, 28, has
been in custody in Pakistan for
several weeks, since before a
video showing the American
journalist’s death w'as handed
over to authorities last week.
A high-ranking Pakistani
diplomat in Islamabad said
Wednesday that Pakistan does
not object to handing over Saeed
to the United States but that cer
tain legal issues must be
resolved first.
' The diplomat, who spoke to
The Associated Press on condi
tion of anonymity, said Pakistan
might try Saeed first, then trans
fer him to American custody by
classifying him as a combatant
fighting against the U.S. war on
terrorism.
Pakistani officials have said
they are still searching for at
least four other key suspects in
the Jan. 23 abduction. The main
target of a police manhunt is
now Amjad Faruqi. who
Pakistani police believe carried
out Pearl’s kidnapping.
Altogether, there are more
than a dozen suspects in the
Pearl case.
Boucher made clear again
Wednesday that the United
States wants to try Saeed in the
United States, but is working to
accommodate Pakistani officials
who want to try him in Pakistan.
“If somebody is wanted in
two jurisdictions for crimes,
then the authorities in the two
jurisdictions have to work out
how. when, what charges, what
transfers and things like that.
That’s a normal practice
between nations," Boucher said.
A Pakistani Interior Ministry
official said Tuesday that
Pakistan wants to hold on to
Saeed for now, hoping he can
help locate Pearl’s body and
identify his killers.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon’s plan to send
military trainers to the former Soviet republic of
Georgia is just one example of the arrangements
President Bush wants with countries where al-Qaida
or other terrorist networks have a toehold.
In some places, like the Philippines, U.S. forces are
taking a more direct role in helping combat terrorists by
advising Filipino troops on ways to defeat the Abu Sayeff
terrorists on Basilan Island. In Afghanistan, American
troops have done some of the fighting themselves.
Some nations, like Georgia, limit cooperation to
accepting American training and equipment.
