Al Quaeda Operatives Captured by CIA Provided Intelligence Behind New Orange Heightened Terrorist Threat Alert
Homeland Security Today Magazine Briefed That Three Al Qaeda Cells Appeared to Coordinate Bomb Plots in US.

Washington-based counter terror intelligence sources told HSToday Ahmed was on her way to New York to deliver what were described as instructions from an Al Qaeda cell. The officials said intelligence provided by Ahmed, who authorities believe was operating as a "mule" a conduit for passing plot instructions - during interrogations led agents of the CIA's top secret operation to secretly capture Al Qaeda operatives to an undisclosed location where at least two members of the cell were taken into custody and transferred to one of the CIA's clandestine terrorist detention facilities.
