agents in east africa had found another training manual nearly identical to the one found in the world trade center bombing. one cooperating witness revealed that bin laden was planning to send operatives to the u.s. for pilot training. a computer found in a raid showed hundreds of targets around the world already surveilled and approved. o'neill's agents identified a man named mohamed rashed daoud al-'owahali. he led them to a safe house in yemen that acted as a kind of terrorist telephone exchange, relaying messages to and from bin laden in afghanistan. >> certainly after the embassy bombing in africa in '98, it was very obvious that what john was saying was right, that this was more than a nuisance, that this was a real threat. but i don't think everyone came to the understanding that it was an existential threat. the question was, "yeah, this group is more than a nuisance, but are they worth going to war with? after all, they've only attacked two embassies, and maybe that's a cost of doing business. this kind of thing happens. yes, we should spend some time and some energy trying to get them, b
