FBI agents are investigating about a dozen people in the United States whose names were found in the home in Pakistan where al Qaeda operations chief Khalid Sheik Mohammed was captured Saturday, U.S. officials said yesterday. Authorities also are examining telephones and computer files recovered in the search of a house in Rawalpindi, a suburb of Islamabad, where the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks was staying when he and two other men were arrested.
