Bin Laden Planning U.S. Attack
(New York Times) Osama bin Laden and his chief lieutenants, operating from hideouts along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, are directing a Qaeda effort to launch an attack in the U.S. sometime this year, senior Bush administration officials said on Thursday. Counterterrorism officials have spoken for weeks about a continuing stream of intelligence suggesting that al-Qaeda wanted to carry out a significant terror attack on U.S. soil this year. Intelligence reports referred to efforts "to inflict catastrophic effects" before the election.
