Spy In The White House?
Terrorists Had Ultra Secret
Codes On 911

"Air Force One is next," read the message received by the U.S.
Secret Service at 9 a.m. Sept. 11, after two hijacked planes
struck
the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York.
Three minutes later, Secret Service agents grabbed Vice
President Dick Cheney from his seat opposite a television set in
the White House and hustled him down to the president's
emergency operations center, a bunker built to withstand a
nuclear blast.
The terrorists' message threatening Air Force One was
transmitted
in that day's top-secret White House code words. As the clock
ticked away, the Secret Service reached a frightening
conclusion:
The terrorists had obtained the White House code and a whole set
of top-secret signals.
This made it possible for a hostile force to pinpoint the exact
position of Air Force One, its destination and its classified
procedures. In fact, the hijackers were picking up and
deciphering
the presidential plane's incoming and outgoing transmissions.
The discovery shocked everyone in the president's emergency
operations center ? Cheney, National Security Adviser
Condoleezza Rice and Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta.
Their first question was: How did the terrorists access
top-secret
White House codes and procedures? Is there a mole, or more than
one enemy spy in the White House, the Secret Service, the FBI,
the CIA or the Federal Aviation Administration?
In the week after the attacks in New York and Washington, more
hair-raising facts emerged. The terrorists had also obtained the
code groups of the National Security Agency and were able to
penetrate the NSA's state-of-the-art electronic surveillance
systems. Indeed, they seemed to have at their disposal an
electronic capability that was more sophisticated than that of
the
NSA.
This startling observation came as no surprise to those tracking
the globe-spanning investments of Saudi Arabia's bin Laden
family
and those of its exiled son, Osama, in some of the world's
biggest
and most advanced satellite and telecommunications companies.
World Space Communication is one of the known bin Laden
assets. U.S. counter-terrorism agencies, including the NSA, have
been tracking World Space Communication's activities for the
past
five years. Some of the company's satellites are far more
advanced than the NSA's own eyes in the sky.
Bin Laden also has the NSA beat on the employment front, hiring
the best computer experts on the market . One such is Nabil Khan
Kani, a Syrian who lived in Barcelona with his Spanish wife,
Jenna
Florine, in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
No one ever suspected what the amiable Syrian was really up to
until January 2000, when FBI agents found two apartments he
used thousands of miles from Barcelona, in the Bab el-Shabaa
district of Saana, Yemen. The apartments served as transit
points
for Egyptians suspected of operational links with the Egyptian
Islamic Jihad and Algerians connected with the Armed Islamic
Group, or GIA. There, investigators turned up nine fake identity
cards in different names, all with Kani's photo, Spanish,
Italian,
French and Sudanese passports, likewise with the same photo but
in different names, and two pistols fitted with silencers.
Kani must have used yet another alias for his getaway . His
whereabouts are unknown to this day. Computer and terrorism
experts suggest that the missing Syrian computer whiz was the
author of the technology known as steganography, as first
described in the Washington Post yesterday. This technology
enables users to bypass electronic monitoring by hiding messages
randomly in seemingly innocent digital files, such as music
files,
those of the popular online marketplace eBay, pornographic files
or even e-mail headers. Scrambled with the help of basic
encryption tools, they can only be read by those with a "key."
These messages leave no trace of their presence.
U.S. intelligence has been unable to trace their authors and
recipients in the three years since first detecting evidence of
their
existence in the files of the bin Laden organization. U.S.
agencies
now believe that the attacks in New York and Washington were
coordinated through those encrypted electronic messages, which
were opened by "key" holders.
They also believe that terrorists are in possession of all or
part of
the codes used by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the
National Reconnaissance Office, Air Force Intelligence, Army
Intelligence, Naval Intelligence, Marine Corps Intelligence and
the
intelligence offices of the State Department and Department of
Energy.
Intelligence and counter-terror sources report that, while
rescuers
in New York and Washington were sifting through rubble inch by
inch, US government experts were changing codes one-by-one ?
and even more difficult, replacing procedures and methods of
encryption. The nagging question of a mole in the highest
reaches
of the U.S. government and intelligence community ? with direct
or
indirect links with bin Laden ? remains. Since no single
individual
has access to every top-level code at any given time ? a single
mole would not answer the case; it would have to be a large,
widely spread number. U.S. experts do not believe bin Laden was
capable of infiltrating double agents into the heart of the U.S.
administration on a large scale. They are looking elsewhere,
instead, at a country with a very well-oiled intelligence
apparatus ?
Iraq.
This theory was argued by an authoritative voice, former CIA
Director James Woolsey, in a New Republic article reprinted by
London's Daily Telegraph on Sept. 17. He refers to a book called
"Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein's Unfinished War Against
America," by Laurie Mylroie, which quotes a senior FBI
investigator on the problematical identity of Ramzi Yousef,
perpetrator of the first attempt to blow up the World Trade
Center
in 1993.
For that deed, a U.S. federal court in New York sentenced Yousef
Jan. 8, 1998, to 240 years in solitary confinement. He was also
indicted for conspiring to hijack 12 U.S. and Asian commercial
aircraft on their way to the United States and blow them up over
New York. It was claimed that the name Ramzi Yousef was an
alias for his real identity, which was a Pakistani called Abdul
Basit
Karim.
However, the FBI investigator cited in the book said that Basit
was
not his real identity either; Yousef was actually an Iraqi army
agent
who stole Basit's identity. Basit and family were resident in
Kuwait
when Iraq overran the oil emirate in 1990. The Iraqis moved the
family to Baghdad with other hostages. Some returned home, but
the Basits were never heard of again, probably murdered for the
sake of disguising Ramzi Yousef.
The former CIA director's advice is this: Iraq was involved in
the
first attack on the World Trade Center. Baghdad is therefore the
place to look for the conspirators behind the second.
Intelligence sources can disclose that Woolsey's conclusion does
not rest exclusively on the Mylroie book. While pointing the
finger
at Iraqi intelligence, he assigns Baghdad with no more than a
partial role both in the1993 World Trade Center bombing and also
in last week's suicide attack on its twin towers. His
conclusions are
based on a CIA investigation opened during his tenure as CIA
director from 1993-1995.
Evidence kept in a personal dossier codenamed KG-84-HJ
established Iraqi complicity in the 1993 attack. It also
contains the
first serious evaluations and theories regarding the identity
of the
high-placed penetration agents in the White House and at the
heart of U.S. intelligence.
They appear to be the very moles who made those vital coded
signals available to the kamikaze terrorists on 911. ___
