Who's laptop and when?
Edited on Fri Aug-06-04 04:40 AM by shockingelk
WP: computer was Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani's -

The interrogations of Khan and Aruchi then led officials to Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, who was captured on July 25. Ghailani is a Tanzanian wanted by the United States in connection with the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. A laptop computer seized with him contained maps and messages, apparently from scouts who had entered some of the targeted locations in the United States.

These documents were produced before the Sept. 11 attacks. U.S. officials have said they included updated information on one building as late as January 2004, but the officials were not certain whether it amounted to new surveillance or whether it was information publicly available.


CBS: Computer was Abu Talha's -

The first break came on July 13 with the arrest in Pakistan of Abu Talha, who served as a communications hub relaying messages from al Qaeda leaders in hiding to operatives in the field. It took two weeks to crack the codes Talha had used to protect the files in his computer but once they were deciphered they provided a treasure trove of intelligence, including the surveillance reports which triggered the alert in U.S. financial districts.

FOX: Computer's were Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani's and Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan's -

Maps, photographs and other details of possible targets in the United States and Britain were found on computers belonging to Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani — a Tanzanian indicted for his role in the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa — and a Pakistani computer expert identified as Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan, said two Pakistani officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

1. All you need to know is
we're keeping you safe, citizen!

Remember, we don't do politics here at homeland security!

Oh.. and how nice of those Al Qaeda boys to leave all that information on the laptop written in perfect english - well known to be the language of choice for middle eastern terrorist extremists!
