"Investigators Identify 4 to 5 Groups Linked to Bin Laden Operating in U.S.
No Connection Found Between 'Cell' Members and 19 Hijackers, Officials Say
By Bob Woodward and Walter Pincus

Four to five al Qaeda groups have operated in the United States for the last
several years, but investigators have not yet found any connection between
them and any of the 19 hijackers responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks,
according to government officials.
The groups, called "cells" by the FBI, are under intensive government
surveillance. The FBI has not made any arrests because the group members
entered the country legally in recent years and have not been involved in
illegal activities since they arrived, the officials said.
Government officials say they do not know why the cells are here, what their
purpose is or whether their members are planning attacks. One official even
described their presence as "possibly benign," though others have a more
sinister interpretation and give assurances that measures are in place to
protect the public.
