The Freedom Tower

The Department of Defense says the chief suspect in the 9/11 terrorist attacks has confessed to killing and beheading Wall Street Journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan.
A story in the Middle East Times and every major news outlet in the world for that matter, are reporting this confession by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Mohammed says he beheaded Peal “with my blessed right hand” and says there is video tape on the internet showing Mohammed holding Pearl’s severed head.
The Times says the confession came during a closed-door hearing last Saturday at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as Mohammed, the number three leader of the Al Qaeda terror network, claimed responsibility for 31 plots around the world, including the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington.
Pearl’s kidnapping triggered a massive manhunt across Pakistan, as his French wife, Mariane, who was heavily pregnant with the couple’s first child, maintained an anxious vigil.,” the website said.

Four weeks later a graphic video showing Pearl’s decapitation was delivered to the US consulate in Karachi. His remains were later found in a compound on the outskirts of the city. Ruth and Judea Pearl, the parents of the beheaded journalist, said they were treating Mohammed’s statement cautiously.

“It is impossible to know at this point whether Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s boast about killing our son has any bearing in truth,” they said in a statement from their home in Encino, California.

“We prefer to focus our energy on continuing Danny’s lifework through the programs of the Daniel Pearl Foundation, which aim to eradicate the hatred that took his life.”
