'US likely to add more names to terror watch list'

Washington : More people are expected to be added to the terrorist watch list as an interagency team gleans through the material recovered from the hideout of slain al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Pakistan, US Attorney General Eric Holder told lawmakers today.


"My guess would be that we probably will (add more people to the terrorist watch list," Holder told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing.

"The material that was seized from that residence is being reviewed by an interagency team. CIA, Justice, other intelligence agencies, other law enforcement agencies are all contributing people and machines to go through that material," he said.

The material recovered include 10 hard drives, five computers and more than 100 storage devices, such as disks, DVDs and thumb drives. PTI
