Washington (CNN)Several US officials told CNN Thursday that the US is now taking action to locate and monitor hundreds of people or "contacts" found as part the intelligence retrieved during the deadly raid last month in Yemen targeting al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Some of these people are believed to be in the West, but not in the United States.
The government is taking action to find and monitor these AQAP-linked individuals because of the threat they may pose to Europe, the officials added.
The fact that officials said they are actively pursuing leads uncovered from the raid indicates that the intelligence was indeed actionable despite some media reports to the contrary.
The terabyte's worth of intelligence gathered from computers and cell phones is now being reviewed at the National Media Exploitation Center outside Washington, which analyzes documents, electronic media, cell phones, video and audio tapes seized on overseas missions. Defense officials have told CNN that information pertaining to the location of safe havens, explosives manufacturing, training and targets was acquired in the January ground operation. . .

So,one hell of a lot of intel....thanks.
Wow thats a lot of intel,thanks.
Maybe we should run all the DNC talking points and other RATaganda through it.
(to filter out all the Fake-news.)
Which district court judge will block this action as intrusive?
Which poster here will wag a finger and quote Franklin?
You might be on the wrong site here slick. We live in a complex world where Intel is invaluable to our nation’s security. Yes, the CIA makes mistakes but so do you/we. Ask yourself who hates the CIA as an organization? Find the list of enemies and let me know.
Save your snark for your mother.
Even the most clueless now realize the Deep State is at war with Donald J. Trump and by extension the American People who elected him (the ones who love America).
That Deep State is headed by the CIA, an unbelievably corrupt and dangerous entity, responsible for millions of deaths around the world. Ever heard of Syria?
What was banned as ‘Alex Jones conspiracy lunacy’ here not long ago now plays out daily as reality - as the Enemedia (a tool of the Deep State) and the Deep State (leaks) work to subvert and overthrow Trump - the CIA’s bread and butter.
Enlighten us with substantive and believable answers to these questions now Obunga is gone:
1. Why is the US leading a covert war (with CIA/SOF boots on the ground) in Syria? What immediate natsec priority is in play? What’s the endgame?
2. Why is the CIA leading the Deep State war against Donald Trump? What’s that endgame? Who really runs America (Hint, Jeb [CIA dynasty & presidential dynasty family] Bush was their candidate) or is it ‘The People’ or someone else?
You were in no way addressing President Trump. Blaming the CIA for the Muslim mass murderers was a preposterous assertion since these acts of murdering the innocent and unarmed people have gone on for centuries. Here is exactly what you posted
“”AQAP/Daesh/ISIS/IS/ISIL and a host of other groups are 100% CIA.
The never-ending “war” “waged” by the world’s only superpower with 100’s of billions of dollars over multiple years is clearly a farce, never even coming close to getting the job done.
CIA directed USSOCOM fund, arm, train, provide intelligence to, and support the jihadis they claim they are fighting.
From food to TOWs, the Muslim terrorists are there because the CIA wants them there.””
The old media, Homowood, and liberals have been screeching about the CIA for decades only because they were doing a job that had to be done. Don’t pretend you know something about the organization, because it ain’t Hollywood.
