The U.S. State Department has not yet confirmed the arrest. "We have seen news reports that Pakistani security forces in Karachi arrested the former chief of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), Qari Abdul Hayee, on March 17," department spokeswoman Elizabeth Gosselin said in a statement.   "We cannot confirm those news reports and refer you to the Government of Pakistan for more information. The United States is firmly committed to identifying all the perpetrators involved in Mr. Pearl's murder and bringing them to justice. We refer you to DOJ for further questions," Gosselin said. Pearl, a reporter with the Wall Street Journal, was kidnapped in January 2002 while on his way to interview a Pakistani militant. He was later decapitated in a video that was sent to U.S. officials and posted online.
