Authorities say they have a notebook that contained codes used to scramble terrorist communications via e-mail and phone.
With the codes in hand, investigators are now going back over millions of conversations and e-mails in search of clues that might help stop future plots.
The codes were discovered in an investigation of a Paris cell of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network, which U.S. officials believe was behind the Sept. 11 attacks on America.
Authorities in Paris are questioning two men believed to be major operatives in this cell, a terrorist ring that authorities say was plotting attacks next year on the U.S. embassy in Paris and other buildings.
