The Washington Times 7/20/00 Bill Gertz "…..The FBI is investigating former Department of Energy counterintelligence chief Notra Trulock for possible disclosure of classified information, a Bureau spokesman said last night………. "The FBI received information from other government agencies that classified information was subject to possible compromise," said FBI spokesman John Collingwood said when asked about the computer raid. "The FBI, working with the Department of Justice, has an obligation to at least preliminarily determine the facts and determine if further investigation is warranted." Mr. Collingwood declined to say whether the FBI had obtained a warrant to search Mr. Trulock's Falls Church, Va., home…………. But other people close to the probe said the two FBI agents took the computer from the residence without a search warrant and that it belonged to the landlord of the town house on the 6000 block of Midhill Place………The computer was turned over to the FBI voluntarily, they said…….The action followed the publication of an article by Mr. Trulock critical of the Clinton administration in the current issue of National Review magazine…….."

Der Spiegel reporter Gunther Latsch told Aydintasbas that Ziad Jarrah was “very close” to his great Uncle Assem, the Abu Nidal operative: “He was the one who picked him up at the airport when [Ziad] first came to Germany. The uncle paid for his apartment. He really took care of him.”
Then, just two weeks before the 9/11 attacks, Uncle Assem disappeared after living in Germany for 18 years. The 9/11 hijacker-relative has not been spotted since. .....
