Has this been determined to be true or a hoax?

D.C. based security consultant Charles Masford cites in the WWN
report that his high level sources in the "FBI anti-cyberterror task
force"  have pieced together 400 sources, including debriefings from
Al Qaeda fighters, raids in Europe, and intercepted voice and e-mail
communications, and have learned that this attack will happen at
11:11AM on 1.11.03!

Has anyone on ISN ever heard of Mr. Masford? I haven't been able to
find any references to him on the Web, and no one in the DC area with
whom I've spoken knows anything about him.  I'm beginning to believe
he may be related to "Captain Tuttle."
