U.S. Secret Service disrupts telecom network that threatened NYC during U.N. General Assembly

Early analysis shows the network was used for communication between foreign governments and individuals known to U.S. law 
enforcement, including members of known organized crime gangs, drug cartels and human trafficking rings, according to multiple 
officials briefed on the investigation. The U.S. Secret Service says it is combing through the more than 100,000 SIM cards in an 
ongoing, exhaustive forensic analysis.

"Each SIM basically has the equivalent data of a cell phone. So we're working through every call, every text, every search made on 
those SIM cards," an official told CBS News, adding, "Early analysis indicates that this network was used for communication between 
foreign governments and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement here in the U.S."
