New York: Two telephone numbers found sewn into the clothing of Osama bin Laden when he was killed by US commandos in Pakistan have turned out to be useless to investigators, who had initially thought that they could provide vital clues about the al-Qaeda chief's contacts.
The bin Laden trove, recovered from his hideout in Abottabad near Islamabad, produced few concrete leads of any sort, 'The Wall Street Journal' reported today.
This is largely because information that might have located other terrorist leaders, such as phone numbers, ceased to have any value almost the instant the US government
obtained it, the Journal said quoting officials.
Out of the two phone numbers, one was connected to a public phone center in the tribal areas of Pakistan, while the other was a dead end.
