  • The Pearl Project

    The Pearl Project spent more than 3 year investigating the 2002 kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl. The investigation found that the kidnapping and murder was a multi-faceted, at times chaotic conspiracy. While only four men were convicted by Pakastani courts in the kidnapping and murder, the Pearl Project has identified 27 men who played a part in the events surrounding the case. It concluded that nearly half of those implicated in Pearl's abduction-murder remain free.

  • Sheik Gilani

    60 Minutes' Crile interviews Sheik Mubarak Gilani, a spiritual leader for a network of Islamic communities in the United States and "the Muslim cleric who Daniel Pearl died trying to interview." Crile asks the question that Pearl intended to ask - whether Gilani is connected to the alleged shoe bomber Richard Reid. Gilani says he does not know Reid; disapproves of some of what Osama bin Laden is doing; and that America is threatened by evil forces that control the minds of human beings.

  • The Catalyst: Behind Cipla's Offer Of Cheap AIDS Drugs: Potent Mix of Motives

    The Wall Street Journal looks at the role of Cipla Ltd., an Indian pharmaceuticals company, in the "extraordinary price war for supplying the lifesaving medicines to Africa and developing nations elsewhere." The story reveals that Cipla has offered "to sell a triple combination of "antiretroviral" AIDS drugs to the international aid group Doctors Without Borders at less than $1 a day per patient..." The reporter finds that even though "multinational pharmaceuticals companies dismiss Cipla and its peers as "patent" pirates," the smaller rivals are "transforming the debate over how to provide critical medicines to poor nations."

  • The Catalyst Behind Cipla's Offer of Cheap AIDS Drugs: Potent Mix of Motives

    "Yusuf K. Hamied is a man with impressive humanitarian credentials. His pharmaceuticals company, Cipla Ltd. runs a free cancer-free hospital in India. And yet, even Dr. Hamied's friends say it wasn't simply compassion that drove the generic-drug pioneer to make his attention-grabbing offer last month to sell AIDS drugs at deep discounts.... One friend...says Dr. Hamied's offer was 'very much a business deal' designed to build Cipla's brand name outside India."
