Rochester, N.Y. - A 911 dispatcher, Nadire Zelenaj, has been arrested for using computers at work to access secure government websites containing information about suspected terrorists. Now the FBI wants to know what she did with that sensitive information.
The employee was hired in 2002 after the September 11 terrorist attacks. 911 computers allow employees to access a secured police data site with criminal information. However, Zelenaj was using that access for personal reasons. Police say she accessed information from a terrorist watch list. They tracked her movements in a two-year period between January ‘06 and December ‘07 and say she visited that site at least 232 times.
Richard Vega of the Office of Public Integrity said that at the present, they can only suspect what she’s been up to. What we do know is -- now the FBI is involved. Agents would not comment other than to say it's part of a larger investigation.
Zelenaj has been charged with 232 felony counts of computer trespass and one count of official misconduct. She was fired in December. A co-worker saw her on the site and became suspicious. From there, it was easy to track her computer movements.

Israeli agent trains police in terrorism questioning
A woman clutches her purse and hunches her shoulders as an airport security guard questions her. Another man claims to be an executive waiting for a meeting, though he's wearing a track suit.
Incorrect answers and defensive behavior can be signs of a terrorist waiting to unleash an attack, a former agent with Israel's security service warned Arkansas police officers on Wednesday. But David Harel, who once worked as a sky marshal for El Al Airlines, acknowledges that safety comes at a cost.
"People forget sometimes the most important freedom of all is the freedom to life, the right to life," Harel told reporters during a break at a conference. "You have to constantly judge the balance of the right to life and the other rights which you expect in a democratic society. Sometimes, the right to life can be more important than some of the other rights and they have to be infringed on to guarantee the safety of its citizens."
