In Iraq:

5 Held in Iraq Council Killing

[...] aq's Interior Ministry said late Monday that police had last week arrested five suspects in the assassination of Akila al-Hashemi, a member of the U.S.-backed Iraqi Governing Council.

"They were paid money from a Baathist. They carried out the assassination," an Interior Ministry official said, referring to Saddam Hussein's Baath party.

Gunmen fired on a car carrying Hashemi, a career diplomat from a prominent Shi'ite family, near her home in a Baghdad suburb on September 20. She died five days later.

And in Pakistan:
Pakistan Arrests Pearl Murder Suspect, Colleague

Pakistani police have arrested two Islamic militants, including one suspected of involvement in the kidnap and killing of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, an officer said Tuesday.

The two men, Sajid Jabbar and Mohammad Athar, were arrested in an overnight raid in the port city of Karachi and belong to the outlawed Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group, Fayyaz Leghari, chief of the investigation branch of Karachi police, told Reuters.

I seem to remember President Bush saying on Sept. 20, 2001 that we would bring Justice to our enemies or bring these terrorists to Justice.
Good work, everyone, but we're not through yet!
