Repercussions
Pearl's kidnappers, who identified themselves as The National Movement for the Restoration of Pakistani Sovereignty, claimed that they were executing the young journalist because he was both an Israeli spy and a journalist. The grisly method of Pearl's execution—a videotaped beheading posted on the Internet—shocked viewers around the world. The demands of the kidnappers were sent via a Hotmail account, which was subsequently traced back to three individuals. The alleged mastermind of the plot, Omar Sheikh, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death in July, 2002. As of 2008, Omar Sheikh remains in prison awaiting execution.
