US Intelligence: Al-Qaida Considered 9-11 Anniversary Attack
U.S. officials say an initial review of documents seized from Osama bin Laden’s compound shows al-Qaida considered carrying out a terrorist plot against the United States on the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
A Homeland Security Department document obtained Thursday by U.S. news organizations says al-Qaida considered an operation against trains at an unspecified location in the United States.
The document says al-Qaida thought about tampering with rail tracks so a train would fall off the tracks in a valley or over bridge.
