Kansas City, Mo. - A hacker has stolen foreign students' personal information from the University of Kansas, which had collected the data under Bush administration orders.
The information probably would not prove useful to terrorists because authorities believe they know exactly what was taken, FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said.
FBI investigators yesterday were trying to track down whoever broke into the university's computer system last week, taking information including Social Security, passport and university identification numbers from about 1,450 foreign students.
