FBI wants 370 for questioning in attacks

NEW YORK -- A detailed FBI list of people being sought for questioning about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks includes Florida residents who shared a post office box in Saudi Arabia, a man with a "LAST--DAY--11," e-mail address and the German girlfriend of one of the hijackers.

Tracking many of the 370 individuals on the list is another matter. Associated Press reporters across the United States and in Europe talked with neighbors of some on the list who say that people with those names haven't been seen since shortly before or just after the attacks. In some cases, police searched apartments but neighbors didn't see any arrests. Some have been questioned and cleared while others appear to be held by U.S. immigration authorities.

The list was compiled by the FBI and European authorities and circulated to European banks for a cross-check with customer lists.

A handful on the list -- briefly published on a Finnish banking Web site where it was obtained by the AP -- are already known to be in custody in the United States, Germany, France and Britain. Others, including the 19 hijackers, are listed as "possibly dead."

Many no longer live at listed addresses and in some cases, the addresses don't exist at all.

One man on the list, who shares the same last name as two of the hijackers, allegedly used a Kansas City address that turned out to be the creative division of a greeting card company.

A New York street number in the borough of Queens doesn't exist, although the road, just beyond a runway at LaGuardia Airport, certainly does. At the west end of the street, jumbo jets land so close one could almost reach out and touch them.

An FBI official in Washington said the agency does not characterize all the people on the list as suspects. They are "people who we want to talk to because we believe they may have information that is helpful to the investigation," the official said on condition of anonymity. The FBI would not comment on how important the people on the list are to the investigation.
