Spanish Terror Cell Sent Cash To Pearl's Killers

From correspondents in Madrid, November 16, 2004.

AN Islamic extremist cell uncovered in Barcelona provided finance for an alleged al-Qa'ida kingpin in Pakistan indicted in the murder of US journalist Daniel Pearl, it was claimed yesterday.

The Pakistani cell, which Spanish police smashed in September, had this year sent money orders of €3000 ($5050) each to Amjad Farooqi, who was killed in an encounter in Pakistan with security forces that month, according to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.
