KARACHI: An Arab drew the knife across the throat of US journalist Daniel Pearl 12 months ago while another Arab filmed the execution, a Pakistani militant who led police to his grave and says he witnessed the slaying has told interrogators.
Fazal Karim, of the outlawed Sunni extremist Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, has been detained without charges since May, when he was captured in a swoop on Islamic militants prompted by the suicide car bomb killing of 11 French naval engineers that month.
