Is Bin Laden really giving advice to al-Zarqawi over phone or other electronic media knowing very well that all those means are under American signal intelligence?

It is possible but not likely. The terrorist organization that can stage nine-eleven type of planned and coordinated devastation is not that naïve. Then why is Bin Laden taking to al-Zarqawi about attacking America knowing very well that Americans can be hearing him? The answer is simple – disinformation – divert the attention to a different direction while continue to work on other obscure plans and of course Iraq. Of course it is also possible that Bin Laden never really understood that all his possible communication means are being monitored.

According media sources, U.S. intelligence has intercepted a communication from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq that "reiterates the desire by al Qaeda to target the homeland," U.S. officials said Monday.

A classified bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security, issued Friday, warns state homeland security advisers and other authorities of "credible but nonspecific threat information" reaffirming al Qaeda's intent to strike the United States.

According to two government officials, the information was picked up recently from an intercepted communication believed to have been from bin Laden to al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born terrorist whose followers are blamed for some of the bloodiest attacks in the war in Iraq.

But officials stressed that there is nothing specific in the intelligence to indicate when, where or how any attack might be carried out. One called the information "vague" and nothing "unique."
