Muslim terrorist places a bomb inside a mosque in Iraq. The bomb detonates, obliterating most of the building. But 
American military personnel, sifting through the debris, just moments later, find a doorknob with the scoundrel's 
fingerprints on it, from a door he opened to enter the facility.

The prints are collected with digital technology, and sent via a wireless network, locally, in Iraq, and then across 
the globe via satellite to the Army's Biometric Fusion Center in Clarksburg, W. Va., near Washington, D.C.

There, Army agents, working with FBI counterparts, scan the prints, and compare them with a database of known 
terrorists, looking to determine if the killer was behind other bombings in Iraq, Afghanistan, or elsewhere in the 
world, experts tell United Press International's Networking.
