So much for the FBI's monitoring of Muslims in the US being a witchhunt, it seems. Names of individuals under surveilance in the US in the possession of Shaikh Mohammed.

Al Qaeda names match those under U.S. surveillance
'Chatter level' intensified since Mohammed's arrest

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- About a dozen names discovered at the house where al Qaeda operations chief Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was arrested match names of individuals under surveillance in the United States, U.S. government officials told CNN Tuesday.

Officials stressed the preliminary nature of the information, and cautioned that the numbers are likely to change -- and the names will require further investigation.

One official emphasized that even though some names match, it does not mean arrests are imminent.

"There may be intelligence value in continuing the surveillance," the government official said. "Also, just because you find a name that would indicate possible links to al Qaeda doesn't mean you have the sufficient basis for making an arrest."

Officials have said hundreds of names were found in the Rawalpindi, Pakastan, home where Mohammed was captured Saturday. Many were found in a computer, while others were fond on pieces of paper. Authorities are investigating to see just how many might be connected to al Qaeda.
