The leader of the "Library Tower Plot" was captured in February 2002. KSM was arrested on March 1, 2003. The interrogations of KSM did not, and could not, have contributed to the arrest of the leader of the "Library Tower Plot." Here is a statement from a teleconference Press Briefing on the West Coast Terrorist Plot by Frances Fragos Townsend, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (9th paragraph of the press release): "The cell leader was arrested in February of 2002, and as we begin -- at that point, the other members of the cell believed that the West Coast plot has been canceled, was not going forward. You'll recall that KSM was then arrested in April of 2003 -- or was it March -- I'm sorry, March of 2003."
