Report: Senior al Qaeda leader personally beheaded Daniel Pearl (KSM)
CNN ^ | 1/20/11

Posted on 01/20/2011 2:43:52 AM PST by markomalley

An analysis of veins corroborates a confession by a senior al Qaeda leader that he personally beheaded Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, according to a new report released Thursday.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is suspected of planning the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States.

Mohammed has not denied his role in the killing of Pearl, who was abducted in January 2002.

A video of the journalist's slaying was distributed online nearly a month after he was abducted, but the face of the killer who slit his throat was not visible.

U.S. officials have not charged Mohammed in the 2002 death.

Isn't this the goon that eric holder bumbled so horribly on in attempting to try in civilian court?

Perhaps they are holding back on this one charge so that when they can get rid of holder, they can actually bring a new charge and try him by tribunal instead, and get just results.

Every islamist killed Pearl. Not just one.

Treatment for cancer cannot begin until cancer is recognized as the issue.

Yeah, I know this beheading stuff is bad...BUT did you realize we put panties on a guy’s head at Abu Ghraib?!? Now THAT is a war crime—something the NY Times and the Drive By Media would NOT shut up about for months and months.

I didn’t see the video, so I’m confused. In 2002 we heard that the terrorists cut Daniel Pearl’s throat; now we’re hearing they cut his head off. Which is right?
