KARACHI : Pakistani police arrested a militant who was sentenced to death in his absence for a 2002 suicide bomb which killed 11 French engineers and who may be linked to the murder of US reporter Daniel Pearl, officials said.
Police said they suspect Islamic extremist Mohammad Sohail may have filmed the beheading of the Wall Street Journal correspondent, who was abducted in the volatile southern city of Karachi in early 2002....
