Naming Khan could have jeopardized sting
U.S. officials revealed the name of captured al Qaeda suspect Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan while he was still cooperating with Pakistani authorities, a Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters on Friday. Khan e-mailed comrades on Sunday and Monday as part of an ongoing Pakistani sting operation against Osama bin Laden's network, the source said. But his name appeared in the New York Times on Monday following anonymous briefings, raising suggestions the U.S. officials' disclosure could have jeopardised the sting.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-08-06 |
