> WASHINGTON -- Federal authorities believe that some of the 19 hijackers
> involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were using computers in
> all-night Kinko's stores and cybercafes in South Florida to coordinate
> their activities in the weeks before the assaults.
>
> Investigators have amassed what they described as a ''substantial'' amount
> of e-mail traffic among the hijackers. Some of the messages were exchanged
> in a mix of English and Arabic.
>
> None of the communications, authorities said Sunday, involved the use of
> encryption or other code to disguise the contents of the messages.
