LAHORE: Muhammad Hashim Qadeer, one of the men involved in kidnapping Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, has been arrested from a bus in Gujranwala on Wednesday, police told Daily Times.

“A team of police and intelligence agents caught him from a bus at a Gujranwala terminal,” police added. Hashim Qadeer was one of the three people who took Pearl to interview Mubarak Ali Shah Gillani, chief of Jamiatul Fuqra, a religious organisation banned by the US, police said.
