Search for the 'chatter' continues ;-) There are many sleeper cells in this country awaiting their cue. One need not know the specific details of the exact operation on 9/11 or even have prior knowledge of that particular date to be nailed by the feds.

An interesting old news article: WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Wednesday publicized the names and photos of the 22 "Most Wanted Terrorists" -- a list topped by Osama bin Laden and including an Indiana-born man linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing -- as the U.S. government offered rewards of up to $5 million for information on each fugitive. "We list their names, we publicize their pictures, we rob them of their secrecy," Bush said at FBI headquarters as he unveiled what he called a "new tactic" in the war against terrorism. "These 22 individuals do not account for all of the terrorist activity in the world, but they're among the most dangerous -- the leaders and key supporters, the planners and the strategists," Bush said. "They must be found. They will be stopped. And they will be punished," he said. All 22 men are of Middle Eastern descent and fugitives being sought by U.S. law enforcement officials for being named in one of five indictments handed up by grand juries for terrorist acts against the United States dating to 1985. "They have blood on their hands from September 11th and other acts against America in Kenya, Tanzania and Yemen," said Secretary of State Colin Powell. Most on the list are thought to be connected to bin Laden's al-Qaida network, and some are thought to have played key roles in the Sept. 11 attacks -- most notably bin Laden and his top lieutenants, Ayman al-Zawahri and Muhammed Atef. One of the terrorists on the list is Abdul Rahman Yasin, 41, an Indiana-born Iraqi thought to be a key participant in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Yasin was born April 10, 1960, in Bloomington, where his father was studying for a doctoral degree in education at Indiana University. IU records show that Yasin's father, Said Taha Yasin, enrolled at IU for the 1952-1953 school year and then apparently left, returning in 1956 and remaining at the university until he completed his studies in the spring of 1960. The elder Yasin received his doctorate in 1961, and authorities think the family returned to Baghdad soon after. However, Yasin's Indiana birth allowed him to go to the U.S. Embassy in Jordan in 1992 and obtain a U.S. passport, which he then used to enter the United States. Yasin has been a wanted man since 1993, when the State Department offered a $2 million reward, since increased to $5 million, for information leading to his arrest or conviction. He is the only one of the seven defendants indicted in the 1993 bombing to escape capture. Authorities think he has been in hiding with relatives in Iraq for most of the time since then. While the whereabouts of many of the others listed are unknown, law enforcement officials said they do not think any of them are in the United States. At least seven are thought to be in Afghanistan and three in Lebanon. With the lure of a cash reward from the State Department -- to be advertised around the world on the Internet, television, posters, leaflets, even matchbooks -- officials said they hope someone will provide the tip that will lead to their capture. The rewards are paid for information leading to the arrest or conviction of terrorists or their supporters, and the United States has paid more than $8 million in 22 cases in the past seven years in the program. Law enforcement officials stressed this is not a bounty program seeking suspected terrorists dead or alive. On the military front, a fourth day of aerial raids, including attacks on the outskirts of Kabul, the Afghan capital, moved the U.S.-led campaign closer to the expected start of ground operations against the al-Qaida terrorist network and the Taliban government.
