<BQ> | In Washington, DC, an FBI official told reporters the hijackers and their | known associates used public computers, such as those in libraries, as | well as their own personal computers to communicate. | | ``They did use it (the Internet) and they used it well,'' the official | said of the e-mails of the hijackers and their associates. The FBI has | been able to get e-mails that date back as far as 30 to 45 days, the | official said. | | The official said the e-mails were in English and Arabic, that there were | hundreds of communications, and the e-mails were not just limited to the | United States. The hijackers did not use encryption techniques, the | official said. </BQ>
