Editing Bojinka plot (section)

==Evidence in Room 603==
When the officers returned to Suite 603 at 2:30{{nbsp}}a.m. on January 7, they found street maps of Manila with routes plotting the papal motorcade, a [[rosary]], a photograph of the [[pope|pontiff]], bibles, [[crucifix]]es, papal confessions, and priest clothing, including robes and collars. This collection of objects and a phone message from a tailor reminding the occupant that "the [[cassock]] was ready to be tried on," along with the fact of the Pope's impending visit, were enough for Police Major Francisco F. Bautista to infer that an assassination plot had been interrupted. A search warrant was granted by 4:00{{nbsp}}a.m. on January 7.<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell"/>

More chemicals, such as gallons of [[sulfuric acid]], [[picric acid]], [[nitric acid]], [[glycerin]], [[acetone]], [[sodium chlorate]], nitrobenzoyl, [[ammonia]], [[silver nitrate]], [[methanamine]], and [[ANFO]] were found. Several cans of gasoline and two large [[Welch's]] [[grape juice]] bottles containing [[nitroglycerin]] were found. Equipment such as [[thermometer]]s, [[graduated cylinder]]s, large cooking [[kettle]]s, [[funnel]]s, [[fuse (explosives)|fuses]], [[filter (chemistry)|filters]], [[soldering iron]]s, [[beaker (glassware)|beakers]], [[mortar (bowl)|mortars]], [[pestle]]s, different electronic fusing systems, [[timer]]s, [[switch]]es, and [[circuit breaker]]s were found. Also discovered in the search was a finished remote-controlled [[brass]] pipe bomb, as well as another pipe bomb that was about to be packed. The apartment also contained a chemistry [[textbook]] and chemical [[dictionary]], a ''Time'' magazine with the cover story on [[international terrorism]],<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell"/><ref name="cnn-convicted"/> as well as a pharmacy receipt and bottle of [[contact lens]] [[Solution (chemistry)|solution]]. In a cupboard under the [[sink]], a finished time bomb and other [[Casio]] watches were found.

The most conclusive piece of evidence found was a manual written in [[Arabic language|Arabic]] on how to build a liquid [[bomb]].

Stacks of 12 false passports, including Norwegian, [[Afghanistan|Afghan]], [[Saudi Arabia|Saudi]], and [[Pakistan]]i were also found in the apartment. Investigators found a business card from [[Mohammed Jamal Khalifa]]; Saeed apparently possessed five telephone numbers from Khalifa. Investigators also found phone numbers for Rose Masquera, Mohammed's girlfriend.<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell"/>

===Yousef's computer===

Yousef's project was discovered on four [[floppy disks]] and an off-white [[Toshiba]] laptop inside his apartment, two weeks before the plot would have been implemented. Several encrypted files on the hard drive contained flight schedules, calculations of detonation times, and other items.<ref name="dueling">{{Cite journal |last=Friedman |first=Thomas |author-link=Thomas Friedman |title=DOSCapital |url=http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1181/1999_Fall/56750484/p1/article.jhtml?term= |journal=[[Foreign Policy]] |date=1999 |issue=116 |pages=110–116 |doi=10.2307/1149647 |jstor=1149647 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040505023201/http://www.findarticles.com/cf_dls/m1181/1999_Fall/56750484/p1/article.jhtml?term= |archive-date=May 5, 2004 |via=[[FindArticles]]|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
The first string of text in one of the files states, "All people who support the U.S. government are our targets in our future plans and that is because all those people are responsible for their government's actions and they support the U.S. foreign policy and are satisfied with it. We will hit all U.S. nuclear targets. If the U.S. government keeps supporting [[Israel]], then we will continue to carry out operations inside and outside the United States to include&nbsp;..." which is where the text ended.

A file named "Bojinka" lists the 11 flights between Asia and the United States, which were grouped under five codenames. Strings were found, such as "<code>SETTING: 9:30&nbsp;pm to 10:30&nbsp;pm TIMER: 23HR. BOJINKA: 20:30-21:30 [[Narita International Airport|NRT]] Date 5</code>" (for United flight 80), and "<code>SETTING: 8:30-9:00. TIMER: 10HR. BOJINKA: 19:30-20:00 [[Narita International Airport|NRT]] Date 4</code>" (for Northwest Flight 30).<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell"/>

The laptop had names of dozens of associates, including some photographs of a few of them and including contact information for [[Mohammed Jamal Khalifa]]. They contained records of information about five-star hotels, dealings with a London trading corporation, a meat market owner in [[Malaysia]], and an Islamic center in [[Tucson, Arizona]]. Information about how money moved through an [[Abu Dhabi]] banking firm was found.

A communication signed "Khalid Shaikh + Bojinka" was also found on Yousef's computer that threatened to attack targets "in response to the financial, political and military assistance given to the Jewish state in the occupied land of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] by the United States Government." The letter also said that the bombers claimed to have the "ability to make and use chemicals and poisonous gas&nbsp;... for use against vital institutions and populations and the sources of drinking water."<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell"/>

The letter also threatened to assassinate [[Fidel V. Ramos]], then-[[President of the Philippines]], as well as attack aircraft if the United States did not meet the group's demands. The letter said that the group claiming responsibility was the "Fifth Division of the Liberation Army."<ref name="brzezinski-bombshell"/>

The evidence found at the Doña Josefa filled three police vans.<ref name="cnn-convicted"/>
