...State-Canada border two weeks ago. But they have uncovered no mother lode of hard information about his plans. "You don't know what's true," says a senior intelligence official.

One of the men has been linked with Ressam by phone records. U.S. officials have also supplied information to help governments abroad round up hundreds of suspected terrorists. Unless specific evidence emerges as a basis for trial, most are expected to be released early in the New Year.
