Washington, May 19 (PTI) American intelligence agencies have launched a massive global manhunt for individuals mentioned in the "treasure trove" of terrorist materials obtained from the Abbottabad hideout of Osama bin Laden, a media report said.
The entire US intelligence community is busy pursuing leads from files recovered from Laden's house in Abbottobad, to determine whether bin Laden's plots had gone beyond the discussion and planning phase to concrete threats, ABC News said in a report quoting government sources.
Sources familiar to bin Laden's handwritten journal and computer files told ABC News that names of suspected al Qaeda operatives had been found in the files, and that an intense effort was under way to find the individuals attached to those names.
