Mystery ‘missings’ haunt
Pakistan

By Syed Saleem Shahzad

KARACHI – Saud Memon, one of the key
suspects in the murder of US reporter Daniel
Pearl, was buried last Friday amid unprecedented
scenes in Karachi. Pearl’s body was found in 2002
on a plot of land owned by Memon in this Pakistani
port city.

When news broke of the death in
hospital of Memon, who was in his early 40s,
thousands of people descended on a radical mosque
associated with the banned al-Rasheed Trust for
funeral rites. According to the hospital, Memon
died of tuberculosis and

Slogans
seldom heard in Karachi were shouted, such as
“Long live al-Qaeda,” “The remedy for [President
General Pervez] Musharraf is al-jihad,” “The
remedy for America is al-jihad.” The mood of the
crowd, which included several figures on the
Ministry of Interior’s wanted list, was one of
anger.

Memon was wanted for questioning by the police but he could not be found and was declared an absconder. British-born militant Sheikh Omar and three Pakistani militants were sentenced to death in 2002 for Pearl’s murder but have appealed against the verdict.

Saud Memon, who owned the property where Pearl’s body was found, disappeared four years ago and only resurfaced in April when he was delivered by unknown people to his home in Karachi, according to his brother Mahmud. “We got the information some time back that he was taken to Guantanamo Bay. However, we had no information from the authorities about his arrest,” Mahmud told reporters on Friday. Pakistani security sources confirmed that Memon was handed over to the United States. When Memon reappeared, he was in extremely bad health, severely malnourished and barely able to talk, his brother said.
