FBI: Terrorists Use Internet 

Ref: Associated Press, 9:13 AM, 31 Jan 2002

WASHINGTON -- The FBI said al-Qaida terrorists may have been studying American dams 
and water-supply systems in preparation for new attacks and sought information on 
the Internet about insecticides and pest-control products.

The bureau's National Infrastructure Protection Center said Wednesday that a computer 
belonging to a person with "indirect ties" to Osama bin Laden contained architectural 
and engineering software as it related to dams and other water-retaining structures.

The FBI did not say where the computer was found or who owned it.

Investigators said law-enforcement and intelligence agencies also received indications 
that al-Qaida terrorists have sought information on automated systems, called supervisory 
control and data acquisition networks, controlling water supplies and wastewater 
facilities in the United States and overseas.

The FBI said terrorists apparently sought the information from Web sites. The NIPC, 
which published the warning Wednesday, is the bureau's top cyber-security unit.

The NIPC said investigators also believe terrorists sought information from Web 
sites about unspecified insecticides and pest-control products.

President Bush cautioned in his State of the Union address that officials found 
diagrams in Afghanistan of American nuclear plants and public water supplies. The 
FBI warned law enforcement agencies earlier this month to be especially vigilant 
around utilities, nuclear plants and water facilities.
