Transcripts from CNN:

O'BRIEN: Now more on the twists in the story of the American Nicholas Berg. As we mentioned, government sources tell CNN that there was a tangential relationship between Berg and accused terrorist Zacharias Moussaui.

CNN justice correspondent Kelli Arena now with details.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

KELLI ARENA, JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: The ties between Nicholas Berg and Zacharias Moussaui, the only person charged in the U.S. in connection to 9/11, trace back to Oklahoma. MICHAEL BERG, FATHER OF NICHOLAS BERG: Nick went to Oklahoma University and he was taking a course at the remote campus and you're on a bus -- that remote campus was near the airport where some terrorist people who no one knew were terrorists at the time.

They were just fellow students -- were also taking that bus, and someone asked him how they -- how they -- asked him basically to let them use his computer and he did.

ARENA: U.S. officials say Berg shared his computer and his password with one individual, and that password somehow ended up in Moussaui's possession.

BERG: It turned out that this guy was a terrorist and that he -- you know -- used my son's e-mail, amongst many other people's e-mail, who he did the same thing to.

ARENA: The FBI tracked down Berg, and his father said his son cooperated fully.

Michael Berg said the incident happened several years ago. Moussaui took flight lessons in Oklahoma in 2001.

It's a curious twist, and some suggest a possible reason the FBI felt compelled to interview Berg three times in Iraq before clearing him for release.

Kelli Arena, CNN, Washington.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

O'BRIEN: Nicholas Berg's father, Michael Berg, said the FBI investigated that Moussaui matter more than a year ago and he stressed that his son was in no way connected to terrorists.
