AP Sources: Bin Laden documents sharpen US aim

United States is following up leads on possible pending Al Qaeda terrorism activities. This comes after five weeks of analyzing information siezed from Osama bin Laden's hideout by CIA led team.

 

" WASHINGTON – The U.S. is tracking possible new terror targets and stepping up surveillance of operatives previously considered minor al-Qaida figures after digging through the mountain of correspondence seized from Osama bin Laden's hideout, officials say. The trove of material is filling in blanks on how al-Qaida operatives work, think and fit in the organization, they say.
The new information is the result of five weeks of round-the-clock work by a CIA-led team of data analysts, cyber experts and translators who are 95 percent finished decrypting and translating the years of material and expect to complete the effort by mid-June, two U.S. officials say."
