No Terrorist Connection in Disk of School Data
From Times Wire Reports
Federal officials said there is no terrorist connection to a computer disk found in Iraq that contained information about schools in six states and there is no threat to the schools.
The disk was made by an unidentified Iraqi man who was doing research and had no connections to Al Qaeda or the Iraqi insurgents battling U.S. forces, according to the FBI. The man did have links to the Baath Party that ruled Iraq under Saddam Hussein, but that’s true of many former government officials and community leaders.
