I seem to recall that the conspirators deliberately used circumlocutions and indirect, idiomatic references while communicating their plans for destruction. Things like calling the event a "wedding" and describing the digits of significant numbers - dates and times - by their physical appearance, such as calling a "9" a "cake with a tail".
Translating such disguised meanings requires an idiomatic comprehension of the language, as well as extreme care not to dismiss apparently irrelevant chatter that is actually pertinent. Jews and Christian arabs with local knowledge of the language would seem to be ideal candidates for the task.
