> NEW YORK -- OFFICIALS at instant-messaging firm Odigo confirmed today that
> two employees received text messages warning of an attack on the World
> Trade Center two hours before terrorists crashed planes into the New York
> landmarks. Citing a pending investigation by law enforcement, the company
> declined to reveal the exact contents of the message or to identify the
> sender.

> But Alex Diamandis, vice president of sales and marketing, confirmed that
> workers in Odigo's research and development and international sales office
> in Israel received a warning from another Odigo user approximately two
> hours prior to the first attack. Diamandis said the sender of the instant
> message was not personally known to the Odigo employees. Even though the
> company usually protects the privacy of users, the employees recorded the
> Internet protocol address of the message's sender to facilitate his or her
> identification.
