Group posting 573,000 pager messages from 9/11
The Associated PressAn activist Web site has posted what it says are 573,000 pager messages sent on Sept. 11, 2001.
Wikileaks says some of the messages were sent by federal and local officials, but most appeared to be from regular people, including frantic people trying to reach loved ones in and around the World Trade Center.
A Wikileaks spokesman says the messages were given to the group anonymously. The messages were being posted through 3 a.m. EST Thursday.
The New York police and fire departments said they could not confirm that the messages were actual department communications. But a pager company, USA Mobility, said it was troubled to learn that messages appear to have been intercepted.
Wikileaks says its goal is to promote transparency by posting leaked documents.
