London Suspect Betrayed by His
Cellphone
By
HEATHER TIMMONS
Published: August 2, 2005
LONDON, Aug. 1 - The 27-year-old Briton who was
arrested in Rome on Friday and accused of planting a bomb on a British subway
had entered Britain using fake documents and an alias, the authorities say. He
managed to escape the country on a Eurostar train to
Paris, although grainy photos of him plastered the walls of the train station.
Yet the police swiftly tracked his escape, for the
most mundane of reasons - he did not turn off his cellphone.
Cellphones have, in the past decade, gone from a novel toy to a
device nearly as common as a watch. That is a boon to investigators, because a cellphone is also the perfect tracking device, capable of
pinpointing any user's location to within as close as a few feet when it is
turned on, even if the user is not making calls.
"If your phone is on, they know exactly where you
are," said Paul Sagawa, an analyst with Sanford Bernstein, an investment
research company, in New York City.
In this case, the police in Italy said Monday that
they were told by their British counterparts that one suspect in the July 21
bombing attempts had fled Britain and had made calls to Italian phone numbers
in the past. Carlo de Stefano, chief of Rome's antiterrorism police, said the
suspect, identified as Hussain Osman,
had called family members during his journey from London to Rome.
The calls would have allowed the police to determine
where he was when he made them as well as track down where the family members
lived by looking up the numbers he dialed. The Italian police determined that
Mr. Osman had bought a new prepaid cellphone calling card, which stores a name and number, on
July 25. They arrested him on Friday.
Cellphones send out a constant signal, which transmits voice or
other data. Some rely on a global positioning system, or G.P.S., which sends
the signal to satellites that can pinpoint almost
exactly where a user is. Earlier generation phones send radio signals to nearby
antennas. Using three or more of these antenna transmissions, in a process
called triangulation, investigators can determine the
user's general location.
"G.P.S. get you within 6 feet and triangulation
can get you within 40 feet" of a cellphone user,
Mr. Sagawa estimated.
Britain, Europe and the United States have passed laws
to take full advantage of those tracking abilities. Law enforcement officials
work with cellphone companies to review information
about cellphone users they suspect of illegal
activity.
In the United States a subpoena is required for that
information, in much of Europe a court order, and in Britain the police need to
determine that the matter is an issue of national security or required to
prevent a crime. Mobile phone companies routinely honor those requests. Verizon has a 24-hour hot line for the police to get user
information, for example, and fields thousands of requests a year.
Armed with the proper clearance, law enforcement
officials can track whom a suspect is calling, where a suspect moves during a
call and where the person ends up - and in some cases, even get records about
the people to whom the suspect talked months before. Since the July 7 bombings
in London, Britain's home secretary, Charles Clarke, has urged European phone
companies to keep cellphone call records for a year.

4Law ROME 1/8/05 - He may have skipped Britain on an ordinary rail
ticket amid the country's highest level of security since World War II, but it
was not long before authorities picked up his signal, literally.By
the time they seized him in Rome on Friday 29/7/05, Hamdi

suspects in London's failed July 21 bombings -- had made a call to Saudi Arabia

to throw authorities off his track by changing the electronic chip in his cell

detailed account Monday 1/8/05 of how they monitored a London bombing suspect's
cell phone calls before arresting him in Rome. Police also described how
the suspect - accused by London police of trying to bomb a subway station in
July 21 - falsified his name and nationality when applying for political asylum
in Britain in 1996.Born in Ethiopia as Hamdi Issac, the suspect changed his name to Osman

Background:
Suspect
'tracked by phone calls'
Italian
investigators say police used cell phone records to track down one of the
suspects in the failed suicide bombings in London on 21 July.
The suspect's constant
use of cell phones betrayed his attempt to find refuge. As well as calling his
brother in Rome, he talked to his father who lives in Brescia,
in northern Italy. The suspect, who speaks good Italian, told investigators
that he was brought up in Italy after his family sought asylum from Somalia
when he was a child. An unnamed Italian security officer told La Stampa newspaper that police discovered the suspect's
whereabouts two days ago. "We went to the area, to take a look around the neighbourhood, to work out what kind of traps or pitfalls
there might be," he said. Italian Central Security Operations (NOCS)
officers then approached the brother, who gave them a description of his flat
and the door keys. On the day of the raid, the building was surrounded with
snipers and a number of ambulances were on site. A team of four armed security
agents climbed the stairs to the flat, followed by more police. When officers
entered the flat, they found the suspect on a sofa in the living room and told
him in English to get down on his knees. "The man obeyed: first he got
down on his knees, then he placed his hands on his head, he allowed himself to
be searched, and finally he was handcuffed," the officer told the paper.
"He did not allow himself to panic." The flat was then searched for
traps. Computers and hard-drives
were taken away to be analysed. The suspect has been co-operating with
investigators, who he apparently told that he had no intention of carrying out
any terrorist activities in Italy. A phone centre and internet cafe run by his
brother near Rome's Termini railway station is also being searched by Italian
police.
