Over in Pakistan, the IMPOTENT police manhunt for one of the most prolific
serial killers in modern world history, Javed Iqbal, continues. And as you
would expect, the case is getting a LOT of media attention IN Pakistan, even as
the amerikkkan and European media ignores the case almost completely.
I'm really getting irritated by how the Pakistano media keeps on referring to
"accomplices" that Javed is supposed to have had, despite the FACT that ALL
evidence suggests that he PHYSICALLY CARRIED OUT the serial killings of 100
boys, by HIMSELF. Does a man who sold Javed ACID, qualify as an accomplice??
Not in my book. That is the #1 complaint I have about the otherwise very GOOD
English language Pakistani media coverage of this case.
Below are two new articles, that provide additional details on Javed, his
methodology, and the HISTORICAL written record of his deeds, that he left
behind for police to find. We learn that Javed kept a diary, listing not only
the names & physical characteristics of his 100 victims, but other information
as well. Cops are now probing 23 different people, including two COPS, whose
names were found written by Javed, in his diary. According to one newspaper, he
names these 23 people as being "accomplices to my crimes", but I have my doubts
as to whether he MEANT that he WANTED these 23 people to be considered as
having "committed" the 100 serial killings with him.
Police are HAPPILY arresting SCORES of Javed's "accomplices", because they
have a VESTED interest, as does Pakistani society, in making it LOOK as though
Javed was acting as part bof a "conspiracy", and had other people helping him
to carry out the serial killings. It makes the cops look LESS PATHETIC in their
failure to even KNOW that a serial killer was at work, until Javed CHOSE to
notify them, if they can claim that TEN or TWENTY "killers" were at work
TOGETHER, as opposed to a SINGLE killer.
According to the diary, if you BELIEVE the accuracy of the police information
that was released to the media, "Javed Iqbal indicated in his diary that he was
the mastermind of the crime, though the "basic idea" was given by Murshad
Naseem, a suspected friend of Javed Iqbal." That doesn't make any sense. Anyone
who has a "basic idea" to serially kill 100 boys, is not going to offer it as a
"suggestion", to his friend.
Another interesting detail is that Javed BEGAN his slaughter spree earlier
this year, JUST before his Mommy died. She was probably already quite ILL, and
Javed MENTIONS in his diary, beginning his killing spree just BEFORE she did
die. All 100 murders, according to the diary, occured between June 20th and
November 13th, a little less than FIVE MONTHS time. Wow, a serial killer who
harvests 100 boys in just about....150 DAYS!! It's hard to IMAGINE a more
TORRID pace! It's almost like a 150 day long MASS murder rampage, because I bet
there were FEW 72 hour cooling-off periods. Even if Javed wasn't killing on a
particular day, he must have been checking on how his ACID was working on
dissolving the bodies! Speaking of which, Javed states in his diary that he
used a mixture of Sulphuric and Hydrochloric acid, in his prolific
boy-dissolving activity. Those are certainly two effective acids, as long as
their POTENTCY is high.
A monetary REWARD has been posted, in the desperate hope that it will lead to
somebody ratting Javed out to cops. The reward is for "Rs 1 million". I have no
idea how "Rs" translates into dollars, but a MILLION is a LOT, any way you cut
it.
Meanwhile local political-whores are seeking to obtain the "school records"
of the homeless boy-victims who have been identified, as well as to come up
with a "monetary compensation" plan for the PARENTS of the slaughtered slaves,
despite the fact that MOST of these parents were either brutally abusive OR
THREW their children OUT of their house, in a PATHETIC effort, clearly designed
for political benefit, to increase their popularity among the citizen-slaves,
by making themselves look as though they care about these homeless,
"throwaway", decreed SUBHUMAN children.
Whereever you may now be, Javed, I hope you are warm, dry, well-fed, and
feeling good about yourself and your life accomplishments.
Take care, JOE

(Pakistan) newspaper:
Javed's diary contains two cops names as 'accomplices'
The Nation
LAHORE-The diary of the self-claimed mass murderer contains the names of 23
persons including two policemen whom he had dubbed as "accomplices in the
crime", police sources said. So far, the police have taken into custody eight
persons, while the 'arrest' of the two cops is being kept secret.
Some others are still wanted by the police while the rest have turned out to be
innocent during initial investigation and police believe they have only been
trapped by 38-year-old Javed Iqbal.
Sources said the diary bore the names of SI Abdul Khaliq, ASI Ahsan Butt,
Zafar, Sabir, Zia, Liaquat, Sajid Yasin, Ishaq alias Billa (who died in CIA
headquarters), Zafar, Maulvi Riaz, Bhatti, Javed's two brothers-in-law Azeem
and Nadeem, Ashiq, Nasir, Asif, Javed's nephews, Waseem Pervaiz, Shahbaz, Nomi
and a DSP's son, Waseem.
Javed Iqbal, according to the contents in his diary, was the mastermind of the
crime, though the "basic idea" was given by Murshad Naseem, a suspected friend
of Javed Iqbal.
Meanwhile, the self-claimed murderer of 100 boys did not go on a killing spree
after his mother's death. By then he had already several kids, according to his
confession that he penned in his diary, police sources said.
If that true, the death of 38-year-old Javed Iqbal's mother in July this year
had not forced him into 'killing'. As penned in his diary, Javed Iqbal 'killed'
his 40th victim the day the chehlum of his mother was held.
Javed Iqbal's diary bear the dates of the killings which were "carried out
between June 20 and November 13". Every page of the diary bears his signature.
According to the contents in the diary, Javed Iqbal had been inviting his
"accomplices in the crime" into helping him in his "cause". Javed Iqbal, who
once planned to commit suicide on August 24 has specified the dates and names
of his friends-turned-accomplices in the diary.
Javed Iqbal has also confessed having disposed of a body of an old man in an
acid drum on July 21. "They came with a trunk containing a body and requested
me to help them get rid of the body," a part of the diary read.
His claim, however, turned out to be incorrect when the police interrogated the
persons whose names Javed had mentioned in the diary, and whom he had claimed
to have been "obliged".
According to his claim, his accomplices in the crime had also been forcing him
to kill their rivals. He has also claimed having killed a teenaged girl and
dissolved the body in an acid drum something which has not been confirmed not
yet.
Meanwhile, a self-claimed mass murderer of 100 boys and at present the
country's most wanted criminal, 38-year-old Javed Iqbal now carries a head
money of Rs 1 million, the amount pooled in and offered by the city traders on
Tuesday, a police officer said.
So, the city traders have teamed up with the police and drummed up search for
Javed Iqbal whose written confession and a photo album of still-missing boys
had led to the recovery of the acid-eaten human remains from two acid-filled
drums from his abandoned Ravi Road house.
The reward money has been offered by traders from almost all the city markets
who have pooled in Rs 1 million, the amount which will go to any one who helps
the police arrest Javed Iqbal or gives concrete information leading to the
country's most wanted criminal.
The City Division Police Chief, Ali Amir has also worked out a
pamphlet-distribution plan for public awareness, a piece of paper which bears
Javed's description and his photo. The pamphlets, which have already been
printed will be distributed throughout the city and pasted in the streets from
Wednesday (today).
Javed Iqbal, father of a 14-year-old school girl, had dispatched a letter of
'confession' and a photo album of his 'victims', claiming he had been killing
the boys and dissolving their bodies in a mixture of Sulphuric and Hydrochloric
acids.

Newspaper Group News Service (Pakistan):
15 December 1999 Wednesday
School attendance data sought: LHC summons record of slain boys case
By Shujaat Ali Khan
LAHORE, Dec 14: The Lahore High Court summoned on Tuesday the entire record
pertaining to the killing of about 100 children, including a report submitted
to the provincial governor by the home secretary on Dec 11 and any plan drawn
up for payment of compensation to the bereaved families.
"While the court would not like to interfere with the investigations and
inquiries being conducted into the incident and related matters, it cannot
remain indifferent to the gory killings and the plight of children,
particularly when the issue has been raised before it by a lawyer," Justice
Tasadduq Husain Jilani told Additional Advocate-General M. Bilal Khan while
hearing a petition moved by M.D. Tahir, a lawyer.
Mr Tahir flays the administration for its apathy and failure to protect the
lives of children and requests the court to order action against the police
officials and the high-ups of the ousted PML government, including former
interior minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain.
Rejecting the AAG's plea for a longer adjournment, Justice Jilani asked him to
produce on Dec 16 the record with names and addresses of the parents of the 71
deceased children said by him (the AAG) to have been identified with the help
of their last worn clothes or shoes, or photographs.
The AAG was also asked to ascertain whether any rehabilitation centre or
shelter had been established by the government for runaway children. He will
also submit on Dec 16 figures in respect of the child population, the number of
schoolgoing children and how many of them actually attend the schools.
The judge did not agree with the AAG when he said that it was well nigh
impossible to compile the figures at such a short notice. A hardened, habitual
offender was able to slaughter 100 children and dissolve their bodies in acid
without being noticed, he observed and asked:
"How can the court close its eyes and stay its hands only because of difficulty
the officials concerned are likely to face in collecting and collating
information? The matter is serious enough to be heard from day after day, if
not day to day," he observed when the AAG requested adjournment due to his
scheduled appearance before the Supreme Court at Lahore.
Earlier, the report and para-wise comments submitted by the AAG on behalf of
the home department claimed that in all 626 children were reported missing
throughout the province between Jan 1, 1998, and Dec 11, 1999. Four hundred and
one of them were recovered by the police and 751 alleged kidnappers were
arrested.
He had no answer when the court asked about the remaining 225 children still
missing according to the official figures.
The report said that of the 71 victims of Javed Iqbal identified by their
parents, 20 belonged to Lahore.
However, according to the official data, disappearance of only one of them was
recorded in the Sanda police station on the complaint of his father, Ramiz
Ahmad of Rajgarh, Lahore, lodged on Nov 10, 1999. No complaint about the
kidnapping or disappearance of any of the remaining 19 children was reported to
or recorded in any police station of Lahore.
About compensation, the report said the question 'does not arise as the
investigation of the criminal case registered in this regard is yet to be
finalized'.
It denied that any complaint or report about Javed Iqbal's activities was
lodged at the Ravi Road or any other police station of Lahore during the last
six months.
The home department assured the court that all aspects of the case were being
"duly and thoroughly" investigated at various levels and all-out efforts were
being made to trace and arrest Javed Iqbal. No offender howsoever high will be
spared, it said, and referred to the registration of a case against high police
officials for allegedly causing the death in custody of a suspect, Ishaq Billa.
