The couple decided to film in India instead of Pakistan, where al Qaeda kidnapped and beheaded the journalist Daniel Pearl during his investigation of the jihadi organization. Extra security has been laid on and Indian security services are also keeping an eye on the two Hollywood stars. The film, A Mighty Heart, is based on a book about Daniel by his widow Mariane. She will be played by Jolie, while Pitt has a minor role. The British Muslim Omar Sheikh is under sentence of death in Pakistan for taking part in the brutal murder of the American-Jewish journalist
