On Friday, Vikram Misri, Secretary of the Ministry of External Affairs, briefed the media about the involvement of Jaish-e-Mohammed in the death of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl. He stated, “Jaish-e-Mohammed was, in some way, directly or indirectly responsible for Daniel Pearl’s death. The real connection lies with Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British Pakistani jihadi who was held in India but released in 2000. He was the one who lured Daniel Pearl to his eventual murder. These individuals, along with their related institutions, are connected. The recent attack on the Jaish-e-Mohammed facility in Bahawalpur can be seen as a response to this unfortunate incident.
