The officials said that as the United States continued to interrogate the terrorist leader, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, electronics specialists were studying a cellphone's electronic memory and the hard drive of a computer for information about possible imminent attacks by the terror network in the Persian Gulf and elsewhere. Both the cellphone and computer were in Nashiri's possession when he was captured. They would not say what information had been found so far, although they continued to express optimism that Nashiri would eventually disclose vital information about al-Qaeda's plans and the whereabouts of the rest of its leaders, including Osama bin Laden.
