Al-Qaeda Data Yield Details of Planned Plots
(Washington Post) Joby Warrick - Documents seized in the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound have yielded a bonanza of new intelligence, from names and locations of terrorist suspects to chilling details of al-Qaeda plots to attack targets in the U.S. and beyond, U.S. officials said Thursday. Intelligence officials found documents detailing a previously unknown plan to attack the U.S. commuter rail network on this year's 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. There was no evidence that the plot ever advanced beyond the conceptual stage, the officials stressed.
