In October 1998, shortly after U.S. cruise missiles slammed into an al-Qaida training camp in retaliation for the Africa embassy bombings, the Kabul computer was used to create letterhead for a fictional company, Challenge for Media Services, and to draft letters to ABC, CNN and CBS. Each was signed Dr. Mohammed Atef and offered a business deal: cash for film of bin Laden and his bomb-destroyed training camp at Khost in eastern Afghanistan.

Peter Bergen, then of CNN, has said that he corresponded with Atef at that time.

ABC, CBS and CNN say they never received any letters nor bought any videos from Atef.

Since CNN and the other networks deny receiving letters from Atef, I should give my source: Bergen talked about corresponding with Atef in his interview on C-SPAN's Booknotes a couple of weeks ago.

I wonder if they bought film off Al Qaeda..

Did anyone try to Goggle to see if this phony company is still being used?
