The arrest of 25 yr-old computer engineer Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan has led to the discovery of what officials are calling an information �treasure trove� that led to the current terror warnings for the NYC financial area.

Officals say the Pakistani computer geek helped to run a secret Al Queada information network that encoded and disseminated messages. Al Queada operatives had studied and reported on financial and other buildings in the NY area even before 9/11.

Information was sent via courier from senior Al Queada officials in isolated areas in Pakistan to hard-line religious schools, and then passed to Khan who would then relay the info over the Internet via website and e-mail.
