"There can be no fooling around with an e-mail IDs and passwords," says an official of the Intelligence Bureau, "Once a terrorist is caught his e-mail IDs can be cross-checked immediately. So, he better be telling the truth. Phone records or other statements require a time lag before they can be confirmed," he adds. Of course, the fact that the modern generation terrorist is generally educated and tech-savvy helps. Officials say, whether it is Aftab Ansari or Omar Sheikh or for that matter, even a Dawood Ibrahim or a Chhota Shakeel, the kind of information that has been generated now would not have been possible without accessing their e-mails. Investigators are still grappling with more information about the attackers on the Parliament, as they have not been able to break into their e-mails as yet. "Most of the current lot of criminals have become extremely chary of using their phones given the past record of tapping by intelligence agencies. However, they felt free exchanging critical information on the Internet," says the official. It is through a series of e-mail exchanges between Ansari and Sheikh that the involvement of the two in the WTC attack has been confirmed. Interrogators of Ansari here got hold of several of his e-mail IDs, <a href="mailto:farhanmalik@hotmail.com?Subject=Re:%20*%20cybercrime-alerts%20*%20The%20latest%20weapon%20in%20anti-terror%20arsenal%2526In-Reply-To=%2526lt;0.1700021638.427286202-1463792382-1014333151@topica.com">farhan malik@hotmail.com</a>, <a href="mailto:aftabansari169@hotmail.com?Subject=Re:%20*%20cybercrime-alerts%20*%20The%20latest%20weapon%20in%20anti-terror%20arsenal%2526In-Reply-To=%2526lt;0.1700021638.427286202-1463792382-1014333151@topica.com">aftabansari169@hotmail.com</a> to connect to the series of e-mail exchanges between him and Sheikh. The CBI and the IB used e-mail interception technology to track Ansari by tracing his e-mails in January, first to servers in Dubai and then to Islamabad. The local Internet service provider was roped in to determine the exact location from which Ansari had sent an e-mail which turned out to be Islamabad. Even in the case of Sheikh, the police in Karachi, helped by a cyber-tracking team from the FBI, traced the three men who had sent the e-mails about Pearl's abduction to the media. The arrested men lead them on to Sheikh. The authorities then picked up Sheikh's in-laws from Lahore, exerting pressure on him to surrender. Earlier, Intelligence agencies had cracked into the e-mail IDs of Dawood Ibrahim and Chhota Shakeel to confirm their presence in Pakistan post December 13. <a href="http://www.timesofindia.com/Articleshow.asp?art_id=1670765">http://www.timesofindia.com/Articleshow.asp?art_id=1670765> ------------------------ Yahoo!
