US investigators have obtained billing records for a satellite telephone used by Osama Bin Laden and his closest associates in the late 1990s and are using them to locate terrorist al-Qaeda cells around the world, according to Newsweek magazine. The report in the weekly's Monday issue said the suspected mastermind of the September 11 attacks and his top lieutenants, including Ayman al-Zawahiri and Muhammad Atef, stayed in touch with the outside world using a Compact-M portable satellite telephone. US investigators probing the 1998 US Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the magazine said, obtained billing records from 1996-1998 for the phone. And a country-by-country analysis of the bills provided US authorities with a virtual road map to important al-Qaeda cells around the world. According to the report, the largest number of outgoing calls -- 238 out of 1,100 -- went to Britain, particularly to Bin Laden associate Khalid al-Fawwaz, who has been in British custody for years awaiting extradition to the United States. The second largest group of outgoing calls was to numbers in Yemen, Newsweek reported. Some calls went to a Yemeni phone number that investigators now believe was used as a switchboard by conspirators involved in the embassy bombings in Africa, the bombing of the USS Cole and the September 11 attacks. Citing US intelligence sources, the magazine reported that the switchboard number was registered to Ahmad Mohammad Ali al-Hada, a well-known Bin Laden associate. One of al-Hada's sons-in-law, Khalid Almidhar, was a member of the team that crashed an American Airlines plane into the Pentagon. Another son-in-law is among 13 men named by the Justice Department this month as members of a terror team feared to be plotting an imminent attack against American targets. Other countries called from Bin Laden's satellite phone include Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Egypt. Nearly 10 per cent of the outgoing calls went to numbers in Iran, Newsweek reported. The report cites a Bush administration official as saying US intelligence has believed for years that hard-line factions inside Iran helped al-Qaeda operate an "underground railroad" smuggling terrorists to training camps in Afghanistan. ------------------------ Yahoo!
