WASHINGTON: Al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan contacted at least six people in the United States and at least one of the contacts was in recent months, CNN on Wednesday quoted US intelligence sources as saying.

The network said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed to have proof of communications between Al Qaeda and contacts in the United States.

It also quoted two sources in the US government, also unnamed, as saying intelligence gathered in Pakistan had furnished proof that suspected Al Qaeda operatives had contacted at least one person and possibly more in the United States in the course of recent months. afp
