Comments on this story?E-mail gamecockudesk@hotmail.com Missing reporter declared dead BY RICHARD PYLE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK - Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl is dead, the State Department said Thursday. Pakistani authorities said a videotape indicated he had been killed by the Islamic ex tremists who kidnapped him a month ago. Reaction to the announcement was swift. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf ordered secu rity forces to apprehend "each and every one of the gang of ter rorists” involved in Pearl’s killing. In Beijing, President Bush said "all Americans are sad and angry to learn of the murder.” Pearl, 38, was kidnapped in the Pakistani port city of Karachi on Jan. 23. The interior minister of the Sindh province, which in cludes Karachi, said the videotape "contained scenes showing Mr. Pearl in captivity and scenes of his murder by the kidnappers.” "The tape appears to be cor rect,” said the minister, Mukhtar Ahmad Sheikh. Pearl’s parents and two sisters said they were "shocked and sad dened” by the news. "Up until a few hours ago, we were confident that Danny would return safely, for we believe that no human being could be capable of harming such a gentle soul,” they said in a statement. Pearl tuhnce nreonanf urifo ic also a journalist, was abducted af ter arranging to interview the leader of a radical Muslim faction with purported ties to the al-Qaida terrorist network and terror sus pect Richard C. Reid. In December, Reid was arrested on a Paris Miami flight he allegedly boarded with explosives in his shoes. Pakistani police have seized several suspects, including an ex tremist who said in court that he engineered Pearl’s abduction. Two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a videotape purportedly showed Pearl either dead or being killed, and the FBI was evaluating the tape’s authenticity. It was not im mediately clear when the tape was made. In a statement, the Journal said Pearl’s "murder is an act of bar barism that makes a mockery of everything Danny’s kidnappers claimed to believe in. They claimed to be Pakistani national ists, but their actions must surely bring shame to all true Pakistani patriots.” Journal spokesman Steve Goldstein said he did not know if a body had been recovered.
