"Long before the U.S. military launched a cruise missile attack against Osama bin Laden's base camps in the mountains of Afghanistan last month, the CIA's Counterterrorist Center created an unusual bin Laden 'station' in 1996 to target the Islamic extremist and disrupt his worldwide terrorist network, intelligence officials say.
"Since then, the Counterterrorist Center has assisted foreign intelligence and law enforcement in the arrest of 40 alleged terrorist operatives, including numerous bin Laden associates, the officials say. Twenty-one of those arrests have come since June, the officials said."
