In Mrs Turner class this semester we learned about Lasantha wicrematunge and Daniel pearl. Wickrematunge was shot while he was on his way to work around 10:30 a.m. on 8 January 2009. Four armed assassins riding motorcycles blocked Wickrematunge's vehicle before breaking open his window and shooting him. He was taken to the Colombo South General Hospital. I thought because he went out with no security maybe he was ready to die so i think his death was planned.
Daniel Pearl was a journalist and his wife was also. On January 23, 2002, on his way to what he thought was an interview with sheike The group claimed Pearl was a spy and—using a hot mail email account. sent the United States a range of demands, including the freeing of all Pakistan. In my opinion i think that the be heading was too far. Also they had no reason for kidnapping him.
