In January 2002, Wall Street Journal claimed, that they had obtained two Al-Quaeda computers containing hundreds of files, including plans to launch a chemical and biological weapons program, which had been found in Kabul. A Wall Street Journal reporter bought the computers for $2163. Text and video files dating back to early 1997. According to the computer's internal records, it was used in May 2001, to type a letter to anti-Taliban leader Ahmed Shah Massoud (->) of the Northern Alliance. In a mentioned interview within the letter Massoud mentioned "one of our best journalists Karim Touzani." Massoud was killed by a bomb on September 9, 2001 while being interviewed by two men posing as journalists, one carrying a passport in the name of Karim Touzani. Another letter was addressed to Bin Laden's lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri. A June 1999 memo on the hard drive was addressed to "Abu Hafs" (->), Mohamed Atef's alias. Wall Street Journal didn't explain, which computer system or if arabic key fonts had been used. It was unknown, who did the translation. Wall Street Journal tried later to examine the role of the Pakistan Secret Service ISI and their terror ties in connection with the Sep11th attacks. A couple of months later Wall Street Journalist Daniel Pearl (->) was kidnapped and killed in Pakistan.
