Khan used in al-Qaeda sting operation
2004-08-06
Al Qaeda member Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan emailed contacts in Osama bin Laden's network while in custody as part of a sting operation by security agencies, a Pakistani intelligence source said Friday. A series of arrests in Britain this week resulted from Khan's capture. A high alert for U.S. financial institutions against a possible al Qaeda attack was also attributed to information gathered from the Pakistani computer engineer, who was caught early last month, according to intelligence and government sources.

#1  Dumb. Very dumb.

"Gee, I'm in custody, and they let me have network access! What a stroke of luck..."
