Al-Qaeda
computer geek nearly overthrew US
The Register 11/08/04
"A White House with a clear determination to draw paranoid
conclusions from ambiguous data has finally gone over the top. It
has now implied that the al-Qaeda computer geek arrested last
month in Pakistan was involved in a plot to destabilize the USA
around election time..."
U.S.
rapped for blowing spy's cover
New York Daily News 07/08/04
"A captured Al Qaeda computer whiz was E-mailing his comrades
as part of a sting operation to nab other top terrorists when U.S.
officials blew his cover, sources said yesterday..."
"...Now British and Pakistani intelligence officials are
furious with the Americans for unmasking their super spy -
apparently to justify the orange alert - and for naming the other
captured terrorist suspects.
Pakistani Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat expressed dismay
the trap they had hoped would lead to the capture of other top Al
Qaeda leaders, possibly even Osama Bin Laden, was sprung too soon..."
"...On July 13, the Pakistanis nabbed Khan and seized his
computers, which revealed that Al Qaeda was operating worldwide
and had planned other Sept. 11-style attacks.
"His arrest was kept secret and he was made to remain in
touch with his contacts," a Pakistani government official
told The Times of London. "During his detention, he regularly
communicated through E-mail with the Al Qaeda operatives in
Britain and other countries. That helped us to identify them."
With Khan's help, the CIA and Pakistani intelligence officers were
able to track down Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian wanted for
the deadly 1998 East African embassy bombings.
Information from Khan and Ghailani's computers also was passed to
the Brits, who laid traps for the Al Qaeda suspects in their midst.
The traps were abruptly sprung Monday, when Khan's name appeared
in print..."

Cooperating
suspect's name revealed
Dawn 06/08/04
"US officials revealed the name of captured Al Qaeda suspect
Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan while he was still cooperating with
Pakistani authorities, an intelligence source said on Friday.
Naeem Khan e-mailed comrades on Sunday and Monday as part of a
Pakistani sting operation against Osama bin Laden's network, the
source said. But his name appeared in the New York Times on Monday
following anonymous briefings by US officials, raising suggestions
their disclosure could have jeopardized the sting.
"He was cooperating with interrogators on Sunday and Monday
and sent e-mails on both days," the intelligence source said.
Naeem Khan was moved to a new location on Monday evening, he said.
US officials revealed Naeem Khan's name in anonymous briefings
with journalists after New York and Washington were put on high
alert for a possible Al Qaeda attack. The officials said the alert
was prompted after Khan's capture in Pakistan last month yielded
documents, computers, surveillance reports and sketches.
A string of arrests in Britain this week also resulted from Khan's
detention. "After his capture he admitted being an Al Qaeda
member and agreed to send e-mails to his contacts," the
source said.
"He sent encoded e-mails and received encoded replies. He's a
great hacker and even the US agents said he was a computer whiz." The source said Khan had intended to hack into both
the Federal Bureau of Investigation's website and a British
official website to destroy them.
Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat, in an interview on Friday,
drew a veil over Khan's contribution to the breakthroughs against
Al Qaeda. "This is a very sensitive subject. We must be very
careful, we must exercise extreme caution in coming out with such
names and such information," the minister said."
Pakistani
Qaeda suspect named during email sting
Reuters 06/08/04
"U.S. officials providing justification for anti-terrorism
alerts revealed details about a Pakistani secret agent, and
confirmed his name while he was working under cover in a sting
operation, Pakistani sources say.
A Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters on Friday that
Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, who was arrested in Lahore secretly last
month, had been actively cooperating with intelligence agents to
help catch al Qaeda operatives when his name appeared in U.S.
newspapers.
"After his capture he admitted being an al Qaeda member and
agreed to send e-mails to his contacts," a Pakistani
intelligence source told Reuters. "He sent encoded e-mails
and received encoded replies. He's a great hacker and even the
U.S. agents said he was a computer whiz."
"He was cooperating with interrogators on Sunday and Monday
and sent e-mails on both days," the source said.
The New York Times published a story on Monday saying U.S.
officials had disclosed that a man arrested secretly in Pakistan
was the source of the bulk of information leading to the security
alerts.
The newspaper named him as Khan, although it did not say how it
had learned his name. U.S. officials subsequently confirmed the
name to other news organisations on Monday morning. None of the
reports mentioned that Khan was working under cover at the time,
helping to catch al Qaeda suspects..."

Bush
Team on Defensive Over al-Qaeda Leak
Inter Press Service 10/08/04
"One of the greatest coups in Washington's nearly three-year
war against al-Qaeda has suddenly turned sour with reports the
White House prematurely exposed the identity of a key source whose
contacts and communication with the terrorist group's operational
masterminds had yet to be fully exploited.
The source, 25-year-old computer wizard Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan,
had been cooperating with Pakistani police and the U.S. Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) since he was quietly detained in Lahore
on July 12, until the New York Times published his name
last Monday after receiving a "background" briefing by
the White House.
The Bush administration, which had elevated the terror-warning
level in three U.S. states on the basis of information acquired
from Khan, set up the briefing to dispel public skepticism about
the terrorism threat, particularly after it was disclosed that
much of the information on which it was based was several years
old.
British and Pakistani intelligence agencies were reportedly
furious with the leak, which forced UK police to hurriedly round
up 13 al-Qaeda suspects who are alleged to have been in email
communication with Khan. Five others who were sought by MI5
reportedly escaped capture, and there is some question that the
British had gathered enough evidence to persuade a judge to keep
the 13 detainees in custody, according to published reports..."
U.S.
Says Man Had Ties to Plot to Disrupt Vote
New York Times 08/08/04
"A Pakistani man whose arrest provided information about the
reconnaissance of financial institutions in New York, Newark and
Washington was also communicating with Qaeda operatives who the
authorities say are plotting to carry out an attack intended to
disrupt the fall elections, a senior intelligence official said
Saturday..."
"...The arrest last month of the Pakistani, Mohammed Naeem
Noor Khan, had already prompted a search in the United States,
Britain and other countries to locate the people behind the
surveillance, which took place three or four years ago. Now the
authorities say Mr. Khan's arrest is also helping them unravel a
threat to carry out an attack this year inside the United
States..."
"...he is emerging as a central figure in an expanding web of
connections that, the authorities say, indicates that they may
have penetrated an operational Qaeda group whose intentions were
previously unknown..."
Bin
Laden's Back Channel
NewsWeek 08/08/04
"When Al Qaeda needed to send secret messages, Khan often did
the job—until he was nabbed and turned..."
"...A senior Pakistani official says the messages have helped
bring the arrests of dozens of suspects, including Britain's
reputed top Qaeda operative, Esa al-Hindi, and Ahmed Khalfan
Ghailani, the Tanzanian fugitive who was wanted for the 1998
African embassy bombings. Under duress, says the same source, Khan
sent e-mails to at least six contacts in the United States—with
results that remain undisclosed. (A senior U.S. intelligence
official confirmed to NEWSWEEK that Khan had contacted people in
the States, but the source couldn't say when and believed the U.S.
contacts were fewer than six.) U.S. and Pakistani intelligence
think Khan himself may have visited the United States at one point
before or after 9/11..."

Blunkett
rejects terror calls
Guardian 08/08/04
"...However, there has also been dismay in Whitehall at the
willingness of American sources to comment openly on the British
cases, amid concerns that the extradition to the US of one of
those arrested could be jeopardised..."
"...Last night, Mark Oaten, the Liberal Democrat home affairs
spokesman, rose to Blunkett's defence, warning of a 'Faustian
bargain' between the media and politicians over terrorism. 'I am
acutely aware that there is a Faustian bargain on offer for those
who want it: airtime, in exchange for ratcheting the fear factor
one notch higher,' he told The Observer .
He said the Bush administration's naming of potential targets in
New York was 'of dubious worth', and that information should be
published 'only if it would prove useful in preventing injury and
loss of life'..."

Speak
with one voice!
Daily Times 04/08/04
"...There is however the bigger picture into which the
dispute here doesn’t fit very well. The international TV
channels, while reporting the ‘high alert’, showed a caption
about Pakistan unearthing new information about Al Qaeda’s
coming attacks. Two newspapers in the United States actually
printed the name of the computer expert caught in Gujrat: Muhammad
Naeem Nur Khan, a hard core Al Qaeda member who took guerrilla
training in Al Qaeda camps and was the main expert in charge of
running the coded network of information run by the organisation.
What sort of information was obtained from the possession of this
man was also revealed in the newspapers: according to one
intelligence expert, the quantum and quality of the revelations
was unprecedented in history. Information Minister Sheikh Rashid
had not revealed the name of the computer engineer, but it was
there in the newspapers nonetheless. The real scoop happened in
the United States, making our little inter-ministerial dispute
quite redundant..."
