history
Daniel Pearl (1963-2002) was the South Asia bureau chief of The Wall Street Journal, kidnapped in Karachi, Pakistan in January 2002 while investigating a story linking shoe-bomber Richard Reid to al-Qaeda, and murdered the following month. His widow Mariane Pearl wrote A Mighty Heart (2003), adapted into the 2007 film with Angelina Jolie. The case became a defining moment for press freedom debates after 9/11.
