ジハードニュースでは、ダニエル・パールがモサド諜報員だったと言う話が出ていたのだったね。そのために、彼は処刑されたと言うものだ。しかし、モサド諜報員の疑いをかけられたのは、イボンヌ・リドリーも同じだった。しかし、リドリーを殺させる陰謀は、失敗したと言うね。しかし、パールがユダヤ系である事は、失踪後家族の依頼で秘密にされていた。それが、何故か報道されて、処刑に至ったと言うのだがね。
リドリーのロンドンの留守宅からは、私物が盗まれてタリバン側に渡され、また前夫がモサドだと言う証拠が偽造されて渡されたと言うね。ところが、これは失敗し、彼女は生贄になる事無く、解放されてしまった。そもそも、この手の欺瞞情報は、成功する時もあるが、成功しない時もあるね。タリバンにジャーナリストを殺して欲しかった情報機関には、残念な話なのだがね。
ダニエル・パールが誰かに喉を切られるビデオは公開されている。となると、基本的に彼は殺されたと言うべきだろうね。しかし、パキスタン内のスラムで発見された彼の遺体は、DNA鑑定の結果も発表されないままみたいだね。パールが、本当に死んだのだろうかと疑問を唱える声も、理解できなくは無い話だね。
パールの遺体発見がでっち上げという可能性は、判決後に発表されたジャーナリストのロバート・フィスクが記事で疑っている事でもあるね。それは、下の記事を読めば判るだろう。そして、パキスタン情報部からの資金をかの有名な「パイロット」のモハメド・アタに送った情報部エージェントが、誰あろう問題の死刑囚だと言うのも問題になるのだね。果たして、パールを「殺した」という本当の犯人は、パキスタンISI情報部なのかパキスタン「イスラム過激派」なのか、それとも双方なのかがね。
アタと言えば、「神風パイロット」だね。先週には、彼の操縦訓練と神風攻撃に関して、ここで多くの疑問が出た「遠隔操縦疑惑」に関係あるような軍関係ニュースが、一つ出ていたね。それは、アメリカ空軍と海軍がアメリカDARPAやボーイングと開発を進めていた、UACV無人戦闘用航空機が5月に試験飛行を終えて公開されたと言う記事だね。遠隔操作説では「グローバルホーク」機が有名だが、UACVも注意が必要だと言う所以だね。
BBCが取り上げたこのニュースは、X45実験機に関する記事で、US shows off robot plane http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_2124000/2124946.stmだね。「The X-45 is designed to be partially autonomous. Its pilot, who may fly several planes at once, would remain on the ground, out of harm's way.」と言うね。これは、機首に付けたカメラから衛星回線とUHF波で司令室のパソコン画面に画像を送り、「パイロット」はそれを見ながら「操縦」するだけと言う「簡単」な機構らしいね。その技術は、計器情報の送信を含めて、これまでに確立された技術でしか無いみたいでね。そして、一人が何機も同時に飛行させられると言うのが、なかなか意味深だろうね。もちろん、操縦は電器式なのだね。
X45の初飛行も、2001年の事らしいね。そして、軍とDARPAが、911で使われた旅客機のメーカーボーイングと共同開発していると言うのが、意味深かも知れないね。もっとも、ロッキードも、これと別に海軍と共同研究しているみたいだね。
そして、この技術は、一人の「パイロット」が軍の司令室にいれば、旅客機4機位は同時に「操作」する事も可能にするらしいね。これは、あくまでも「可能性」の話だがね。WTCに激突した2機が似たような水平飛行をした事も、理由があったのかも知れないのだね。アメリカ人が911旅客機の遠隔操縦説を唱えるのは、陰謀説の妄想であるどころか、技術的に自然な疑惑であると言う所以だね。
Robert Fisk: The secret links, the missing evidence, and the questions that still have to be answered 16 July 2002 © 2002 Independent Digital (UK) Ltd

Death will be by hanging. But Daniel Pearl's convicted murderer had his own threat for the secret Pakistani court which sentenced him yesterday for the murder of The Wall Street Journal reporter. "I will see whether who wants to kill me will kill me first, or get himself killed,'' Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh told Judge Ashraf Ali Shah in the basement of Hyderabad Prison. "I fought this case just to please my father ... I have said this before, this entire trial is a waste of time ... it is a decisive war between Islam and infidels....''
But the British-born prisoner's death threat was only the most bizarre episode in a very odd and very unique and – so the defence has constantly claimed – a very unfair trial. It was held in secret, in the bunker beneath Hyderabad Prison. No reporters were allowed to witness the 13 weeks of proceedings. The body, said to be that of Mr Pearl, was dug up in a Karachi slum on 17 May but has never been formally identified. Even the results of the DNA analysis of the remains has stayed secret. DNA samples were sent to both Pakistani laboratories in Lahore and the United States. Yet neither the Pakistanis nor the Americans has told us what they found. Why not?
Few Westerners, of course, doubt that Omar Sheikh was involved in Daniel Pearl's murder, although he was already in custody when the American consulate received a videotape which showed an anonymous hand cutting the reporter's throat with a knife. A cab driver even claimed that he saw Mr Sheikh drive off from a Karachi restaurant with Mr Pearl on 23 January when the journalist was researching an article on Islamic extremism – although the driver later retracted his evidence. Three other men charged with Mr Sheikh were sentenced to 25 years in prison. One of them, Fahad Naseem, had a laptop computer from which, according to FBI agents, he sent email pictures of Mr Pearl, trussed up in a tracksuit with a gun to his head.
Six other men – presumably including the throat-slitter – remain at large.
But Mr Sheikh's lawyer, Moshin Imam, argued against the verdict on grounds of illegal court procedures rather than his client's innocence. The judge had been shown the videotape of Mr Pearl's murder but in Pakistani law, according to Mr Imam, a videotape cannot be played in court without the presence of the man who made it – an impossibility when the actual murderer has yet to be apprehended. Mr Sheikh was held in illegal custody before being allowed access to a lawyer, Mr Imam said, which gave the police time to beat him into a confession. He was condemned only because Pakistan wanted to appease the United States.
Yet Mr Sheikh's courtroom death threat – not mentioned was his involvement in the kidnapping of three Britons in India in 1994 and his liberation from prison after the hijacking of an Air India airliner to Kandahar five years later – suggests that he was doing a lot more than his father, Saeed, claimed: organising a welfare group which provided clothes for the poor. He, too, claimed that the US, which supported Afghan fighters in their war against the Soviet Union, had ordered the conviction. "These holy warriors used to be the apple of their eye,'' he said. "Now they are rotten apples.''
Fear lay heavily over the court even before Mr Sheikh's chilling threat to the judge. The trial was held in Hyderabad – 200 miles from Karachi – for fear that the prosecutors might be assassinated. Forensic scientists initially refused to attend the exhumation of the court in Karachi on 16 May for fear that they, too, would later be murdered. The burial site was in a nursery garden in Sohrab Goth, a suburb inhabited by thousands of Afghan refugees.
What they found was almost as gruesome as the videotape. A Pakistani police source said gravediggers found the corpse had been dismembered into 10 parts. It was lying on its back with the severed head placed in an upright position on the base of the neck. The arms were severed from the shoulders, both legs had been amputated at the hips and were cut apart at the knees. The left foot had also been separated at the ankle joint. Inside the grave, the police also found three pieces of green rope, anti-diarrhoea pills, two car seats, three blood-stained plastic bags and a piece of cloth that may have come from the tracksuit Mr Pearl was wearing in the emailed pictures.
Pakistani pathologists estimated the man was killed on 29 or 30 January – at least five days before Mr Sheikh was arrested.
Mr Imam is appealing the death sentence. For his part, the Pakistani prosecutor, Raja Qureshi, is appealing the leniency of the 25-year sentences and demanding death for the other three men. But Pakistani law moves in mysterious ways. It could take at least 18 months for appeals to the High Court to be heard, although Pakistani authorities were hinting yesterday that all might be concluded within a fortnight. The Americans wanted Mr Sheikh extradited and were anxious to interrogate him about his contacts with al-Qa'ida. The request was refused by Pakistan. Some suspect they know the reason: because Mr Sheikh might tell the Americans about the links between al-Qa'ida and Pakistan's own intelligence organisation.
