Atlanta Web site still showing video of reporter's killing

By
ATLANTA - An Atlanta Internet site allows free downloads of video footage of the killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, and the company&#39;s owner said he has not been asked to remove it from the site. <br> <br> The FBI has contacted at least two other sites and asked them to remove the footage. On Saturday, special agent Sandra Carroll of the FBI&#39;s field office in Newark, N.J., said most sites contacted have voluntarily removed it. <br> <br> An Atlanta company, ConsumptionJunction.com, has made the video available for several days but has not been asked to remove it, site owner Mark Womack said. <br> <br> ``We found it on some Islamic fundamentalist site,&#39;&#39; he said. <br> <br> The video clip shows Pearl&#39;s murder and warns of future killings unless Pakistanis are released from a U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. <br> <br> Womack said he had received no complaints about the video post but would take it down if anyone asked. <br> <br> ``I wouldn&#39;t feel like dealing with a lawyer,&#39;&#39; he said. <br> <br> Carroll said there is no legal prohibition against showing the video but that the Pearl family was considering legal action. <br> <br> Pearl disappeared Jan. 23 from outside a restaurant in Karachi, Pakistan, while researching possible links between Pakistani extremists and Richard C. Reid, who was arrested in December on a flight from Paris to Miami with explosives in his shoes. <br> <br> A gruesome three-minute video was delivered to U.S. officials in Karachi on Feb. 21 showing Pearl&#39;s death.
