		The calls are one piece of a growing body of evidence pointing to the presence of suspected members of terrorist sleeper cells operating on U.S. soil, and a growing sophistication on their part to keep their communications secret, the officials said.
		The officials, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said the effort to follow the phone call trail has involved numerous federal agencies and is the result of improved post-Sept. 11 coordination between the traditional law enforcement of the FBI and the intelligence gathering of the National Security Agency, America's premier overseas electronic intercept agency.
		Authorities said the calls point to the clear presence of one or more sleeper cells in the United States and attempts by al-Qaeda sympathizers in America to make their calls difficult to trace, using tactics invented by U.S. criminals in the 1990s.
