NSA & CIA :The Shadows Which Followed Al Qaeda In Yemen & Beyond

In 1996, the FBI were investigating Ziyad Khaleel for his connections to Hamas and suspected of being involved with Al Qaeda. At the instruction of senior al-Qaeda lieutenant Khaled al-Fawwaz, he purchased a satellite phone where it was sent to al-Fawaaz and then sent to Tora Bora, Afghanistan and into the hands of Osama Bin Laden. What Bin Laden had not known was that the FBI informed the NSA to begin monitoring the phone to see where it went and who was using it. The NSA found a goldmine, a once in a lifetime opportunity to listen to one of the most controversial figures in history while calling around the world, and one place in particular, a house located in Sana'a Yemen which was owned by an associate, Ahmed al-Hada.

From here the NSA had begun tapping the line of the home, while also having an active electronic surveillance of Bin Laden's phone. The CIA then is informed about the home in Yemen and placed an eavesdropping device inside the house, while also conducting human intelligence of anyone entering or leaving the building. It would be the most surveilled target in all of the intelligence world. The question is. What did the NSA and CIA collect, know or share with anyone, even amongst themselves. What was being said by those who called into the home and outside of it. And why was the FBI and State Department not notified of the contents which was obtained thru signals and human intelligence by both agencies.
