‘For the first two minutes the cassette shows Pearl speaking. He appears calm and he is saying that his mother and father both were Jews and he had himself gone to Israel,’ the Karachi-based Online agency said in a written account to AFP.

‘He is also seen saying that Muslims in Palestine and Kashmir and other parts of the world are being oppressed and brutalized.
