A website has published what it says are 573,000 intercepted1 pager messages sent during the 9/11 attacks in the United States.

一个网站公布，美国911恐怖袭击当天，系统截取了573000条寻呼信息。

The messages were said to be sent on 11 September 2001
The messages were said to be sent on 11 September 2001

Wikileaks says it will not reveal who gave it the messages - some of which are from federal agencies as well as ordinary citizens.

Internet analysts2 say they believe the messages are genuine but federal authorities have refused to comment.

The attacks on 11 September 2001 left nearly 3,000 people dead.

The messages are being published over a 24-hour period, ending at 0800GMT on Thursday. They are being released simultaneously3（同时地） on Wikileaks and social networking site Twitter.

'Live' broadcast

The website is broadcasting each message at the time it was sent originally in 2001.

The first message was from 0300 local time (0800 GMT), five hours before the first attack in New York and the last 24 hours later.

The messages are not all about the attacks. Some are mundane4（现世的，世俗的） questions about what people are having for lunch.

However many are about the deadly plane attacks and range from people trying to find out if their loved ones are safe, to government messages, to computer server errors.

They include messages such as
This is Myrna, I will not rest until you get home, the second tower is down, I don't want to have to keep calling you after every event. Pls just go home
President has been rerouted won't be returning to Washington but not sure where he will go
Bomb detonated（爆炸） in World Trade Ctr. Pls get back to Mike Brady w/a quick assessment5 of your areas and contact us if anything is needed

New York's fire and police departments said they could not comment on whether messages purportedly6（据称） sent from them were genuine while the US Secret Service refused to comment.

Pager company USA Mobility7 said it was troubled by the alleged8 interceptions, the Associated Press news agency reported.

Wikileaks allows people to anonymously9（匿名地） post documents on the web, saying its aim is to promote transparency.

It was created in 2006 by dissidents（意见不同者）, journalists, mathematicians10 and technologists from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa.

Wikileaks spokesman Daniel Schmitt said the messages were submitted anonymously to the site several weeks ago.

He told Associated Press: "From the context information that the source provided we have strong reasons to believe that this is valid11（有效的） data."

He said the messages would help provide a fuller picture of what happened that day.
