"Weldon: 'Able Danger' ID'd Atta 13 Times"
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pre-Sept. 11 intelligence conducted by a secret military unit identified terrorist ringleader Mohamed Atta 13 different times, a congressman said Tuesday.During a Capitol Hill news conference, Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., said the unit - code-named ``Able Danger'' - also identified ``a problem'' in Yemen two weeks before the attack on the USS Cole. It knew the problem was tied into the port of Aden and involved a U.S. platform, but the ship commander was not made aware of it, Weldon said.
