The chief U.N. war crimes prosecutor supplied the United States, France and the Netherlands in October with intelligence on one of the Sept. 11 hijackers, a U.N. spokesman said today.

U.N. officials declined to identify the hijacker or characterize the nature of the information. But Fred Eckhard, the U.N.'s chief spokesman, said that Carla del Ponte, the U.N.'s chief war crimes prosector, provided the State Department with an electronic document that referred to a man "said to have been on one of the hijacked aircraft."

Eckhard made the remarks in response to a report today in The Washington Post on the prosecutor's practice of sharing intelligence on terrorists with the U.S. government after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"The prosecutor's office was approached by the U.S. Embassy in The Hague after 11 September" for information relating to the terror attacks, Eckhard said. "The United Nations considers that it, too, has an obligation to assist countries, particularly if a state has been the target of terror activities."
