Pearl know secrets about Pakistan: French book
PARIS- Daniel Pearl, the US reporter beheaded in Karachi last year, was killed because he had discovered dangerous secrets about alleged Pakistani involvement in extremism, according to an investigation by French philosopher and mediaman, Bernard-Henri Levy.
“He was the man who knew too much. His work as a journalist took him down the trails, which he should probably never have followed. Basically, he was killed to stop him writing an article,” said Levy, author of “Who killed Daniel Pearl?” which has just been published in France.
In a 525-page volume, Levy retraces the reporter’s last steps in freedom, and the trap set for him by Omar Sheikh — who forms the book’s counter-theme. According to Levy, Sheikh was acting for the Pakistani intelligence services. The reporter may have been about to expose how close al-Qaeda was to acquiring nuclear weapons from supporters inside the Pakistani scientific establishment. Or he may have had information about how relatively unknown Pakistani Individuals were in fact controlling al-Qaeda’s apparent leader Osama bin Laden.
