ABSTRACT
On June 12, 2004, American CIA officers, working closely with FBI special agents, electronic surveillance specialists from the National Security Agency and Pakistani security officials, used telephone and internet intercepts to trace an al-Qaida operative named Musad Aruchi to an apartment building in a congested Karachi neighborhood.1 For Aruchi, a nephew of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammad and a cousin of the 1993 World Trade Center bomb plot architect Ramzi Youssef, terrorism seemed to be in his genes.2
