KARACHI, May 17: The exhumed body parts, suspected to be those of US journalist, Daniel Pearl, were kept in the Edhi morgue at Sohrab Goth, according to a statment issued by the Edhi Foundation, on Friday.

The statment said that the US has arranged for a special air- tight coffin to store the body parts and to keep them from further decomposition.

The police were deployed outside the Edhi morgue and the key of the locked coffin was in the possession of the police, the Edhi sources said.

Another body, that of the suspected suicide bomber, is kept in the Edhi morgue at Moosa Lane, under the protection of the police and rangers, the press release said.
