      <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>
