Islamabad, Aug.21 : A computer expert who was accused of being al-Qaeda's communication chief and was linked to the Heathrow bomb plot has been freed by Pakistani authorities.
Mohammed Naeem Noor Khan was arrested in Lahore in July 2004, but never charged.
Pakistani investigators said that Khan had invented secret codes that enabled al-Qaeda operatives to send encrypted e-mails and messages via the Internet. The information gleaned from Khan's computer after his arrest revealed al-Qaeda's plans for terrorist attacks against Britain and top financial institutions in the US, reports The Times.
His interrogation helped to break down al-Qaeda's cell in Britain and led to the arrest of Diren Barot, alias Eassa al-Hindi, and nine others.
They plotted to wreak death and carnage.
