U.S. Warned India in October of Potential Terror Attack NSA Now Tracking Captured Phones, U.S. Connections By RICHARD ESPOSITO, BRIAN ROSS and PIERRE THOMAS
December 1, 2008—
U.S. intelligence agencies warned their Indian counterparts in mid-October of a potential attack "from the sea against hotels and business centers in Mumbai," a U.S. intelligence official tells ABCNews.com.
A second government source say specific locations, including the Taj hotel, were listed in the U.S. warning.
One month later, Nov. 18, Indian intelligence also intercepted a satellite phone call to a number in Pakistan known to be used by a leader of the terror group, Lashkar e Taiba, believed responsible for the weekend attack, Indian intelligence officials say.
The Indian intercept also revealed a possible sea-borne attack, the officials say.
The chairman of the company that owns the hotel, Ratan Tata, told CNN that security was temporarily increased following a warning.
Tata told CNN Sunday that the enhanced measurers were later eased and, in any case, "could not have stopped what took place."
Since Friday, U.S. intelligence agencies have been tracking the phones and SIM cards recovered by Indian authorities from the Mumbai terrorists leading to a "treasure trove" of leads in Pakistan and several possible connections to the United States, officials say.
Officials say one of the cell phone SIM cards may have been purchased in the United States but would not provide any more details because of the ongoing nature of the investigation.

Water board the guy they caught. He’ll tell them everything in minutes. No harm done either. If there is another attack coming, they need to know about it.....now. This is one area where we fail.......our people would rather have laws against it and allow a nuke to go off and kill thousands.
What a stupid thing to reveal.
I guess India had Gorelic put up a wall for them as well.
I seem to recall a thread a few weeks back that mentioned a number of muslim men had disappeared from the Detroit area. Who knows?
Better to try and understand him. Perhaps he was oppressed as a child by white male Western Christian conservatives?
Obama cabinet members who moved to D.C.?
If one of my family was killed by him, I could understand him real good.......if they would put me in a room with him.
Idiot stupid politicians and their G** D***** gun control laws...
L
We’ve had about 40 Muslim men (Somali) disappear from Minneapolis, too. Makes one wonder if there is something much more significant going on.
a “treasure trove” of leads in Pakistan and several possible connections to the United States...
Hopefully, congress won’t try to REVOKE the PATRIOT ACT! This proves that we need the tools to listen in on foreign calls coming into the country...HELLO? I worry about the Obama foreign team of advisors - anyone taking bets on how long it’ll be before a major terrorist attack occurs within America?
bttt
"What a stupid thing to reveal."
I think it's OK; the phones are captured so they aren't going anywhere. Why track phones you have possession of, I don't know.
Maybe they’re all planning a surprise party for B. Hussein in honor of his election. Maybe something on ... oh ... January 19? Lots of fireworks to commemorate the occasion of our first Muslim President.
We're listening...........
You might be onto something! I wonder if is going on in cities other than Detroit and Minneapolis.
So waterboard the phones, already!
I believe by “tracking” they mean they are running down where the phones came from, and maybe who they called. They are not “monitoring” them, as the phones are in custody.
I believe it has been confirmed that most of these have left to fight in Somalia. Some parents have recieved phone calls confirming that's where they are. Most that went were young - 16 to 22.
Not sure whose side they are going to fight on....alot of factions over there - but you can be sure they were sold it is for the greater glory of Allah.
Please let me know if you want on or off the Old Crow ping list.
