| Feds believe 20 in custody 'directly involved' |
| 2001-09-23 |
Federal investigators believe that up to 20 of the people they now have in custody were "directly involved" with the Sept. 11 terror plot that left 6,966 presumed dead, The Post has learned. Law-enforcement sources said they believe they've gathered enough evidence to charge the alleged conspirators, who are among the 80 swept up across the country in the days following the attack and being held on material-witness warrants and immigration charges. It's unclear when criminal charges could be filed - only some of the evidence has been presented to the grand jury investigating the case, and probers would likely seek to "turn" some of the suspects into giving more evidence and testimony against their comrades. |
