"The full range of material that is being shown to U.S. allies is not known, but sources familiar with the investigation have told NBC News in recent days that investigators have:
Traced money transfers from at least three of the men believed to have hijacked the airliners used in the attacks to Mustafa Ahmed, whom intelligence officials describe as bin Laden’s “paymaster.”
Learned from a foreign intelligence service that bin Laden phoned his mother two days before the attacks to tell her, “In two days you’re going to hear big news, and you’re not going to hear from me for a while.”
Intercepted messages indicating that celebratory messages exchanged by al-Qaida members on Sept. 11 suggest prior knowledge of the attacks.
Dug up evidence that two of the suspected hijackers — Khalid Almihdhar and Nawaf Alhazmi — met in Malaysia in December 1999 with bin Laden operatives linked to last year’s bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen
In other developments in the investigation:
British police Wednesday arrested a 24-year-old man on terrorism charges as he attempted to board a Eurostar train at London’s Waterloo station, a Scotland Yard spokesman said. The man was arrested over possible documentation offenses and was being held for questioning.
Police in Uganda on Tuesday announced the arrests of eight people believed to have ties to bin Laden. Police spokesman Assuman Mugenyi told Reuters that the seven Pakistanis and a Zambian were arrested last week after authorities determined they were using false passports and visas secured by a Pakistani travel agency with “suspected links with bin Laden.”
Newsweek magazine reported Monday that top Justice Department and FBI officials turned down a request by Minneapolis FBI agents early last month for a special counterintelligence surveillance warrant on a man who officials now believe may have been part of the Sept. 11 plot.
The White House said U.S. agents had taken into custody a hijacker accused of killing two Americans in 1986. The suspect, Zayd Hassan Al Safarini, was said to be among five hijackers of Pan Am Flight 73 in Pakistan on Sept. 9, 1986. Safarini had been sentenced to life in prison in Pakistan but had been released after serving 14 years, the president said."
