Reports are surfacing that the recently deceased Osama Bin Laden had plans to attack US trains.
The BBC reported that “documents found at Osama Bin Laden’s Pakistan home suggest he was planning attacks on the US including on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.”
It is thought that at least one plan aimed to target an American rail route.
The New York Times said, “a rushed examination of the trove of materials from the compound in Pakistan prompted Obama administration officials on Thursday to issue a warning that Al Qaeda last year had considered attacks on American railroads.”
“The documents include a handwritten notebook from February 2010 that discusses tampering with tracks to derail a train on a bridge, possibly on Christmas, New Year’s Day, the day of the State of the Union address or the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, officials said. But they said there was no evidence of a specific plot.”
However, officials said that the information was both “dated and vague” and there was “no evidence” that it was a developed plan.
