What high-tech methods are U.S. intelligence agencies and Special Forces troops using in the search for the world's most wanted man — and why haven't they worked yet? Test your knowledge of anti-terrorist tradecraft with this quiz.


1)  In March 2003, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the third-ranking official in al Qaeda, was captured in Pakistan after U.S. electronic eavesdroppers pinpointed the location of a satellite phone call he had made. Why hasn't the United States been able to use that technology to catch bin Laden?
 a) He uses a special telephone, purchased from Russian hackers, that is too sophisticated for U.S. spy technology to crack.
 b) The technology for tracking satellite phones often gives an inaccurate fix on the position.
 c) He stopped using electronic devices to communicate once he discovered that the United States could intercept his calls.
 d) He actually communicates via Internet chat rooms, posing as a teenage girl to conceal his identity.
