<P lang=en dir=ltr><SPAN class=t13>Odigo, the instant messaging service,
says that two of its employees received messages two hours before the Twin
Towers attack on September 11 predicting the attack would happen. The
company has been cooperating with Israeli and American law enforcement,
including the FBI, in trying to find the original sender of the message
predicting the attack. <BR><BR>Micha Macover, CEO of the company, said the
two employees received the messages and immediately after the terror
attack informed the company's management. Management immediately contacted
the Israeli security services, which brought in the FBI. <BR><BR>"I have
no idea why the message was sent to these two workers, who don't know the
sender. It may just have been someone who was joking and turned out they
accidentally got it right. And I don't know if our information was useful
in any of the arrests the FBI has made," said Macover. Odigo is a
U.S.-based company whose headquarters are in New York, with offices in
Herzliya. <BR><BR>As an instant messaging service, Odigo users are not
limited to sending messages only to people on their "buddy" list, as is
the case with ICQ, the other well-known Israeli instant messaging
application. Odigo usually zealously protects the privacy of its
registered users, said Macover, but in this case the company took the
initiative to provide the law enforcement services with the originating
Internet Presence address of the message, so that the FBI could track down
the Internet Service Provider, and the actual sender of the original
message.</SPAN></P></TD></TR>
