MI5 dropped the ball on SneakerBoy and Moussaoui
According to The Observer, British intelligence monitored telephone conversations between sneaker bomber Maxwell Smart "Richard C. Reid" and Zacarias Moussaoui late last year but failed to identify Reid as a potential terrorist. The calls between Reid and Moussaoui stopped in December 2000 after Moussaoui left the United Kingdon for Pakistan. Reid went to Pakistan a short time later, and both men then trained together at a camp in Afghanistan run by al-Qaeda.
