    Investigators believe cell members were using a process
    called stenography, in which special software allows a text
    message to be hidden inside a small part of a computer
    photograph.
    
    U.S. investigators say many terrorists received instruction
    on the technique when they trained at al Qaeda camps in
    Afghanistan.
