[tekisui]

OSAMA bin Laden is planning an attack against the United States that will "outdo by far" September 11, an Arab newspaper in London has reported.

- bin Laden 'planning US attack'
- Goal to 'outdo' September 11
- al-Qaeda reinforces training camps

And according to a former senior Yemeni al-Qaeda operative, the terrorist organisation has entered a "positive phase", reinforcing specific training camps around the world that will lead the next "wave of action" against the West.

The warning, on the front page of an Arabic newspaper published in London, Al-Quds Al-Arabi - and widely reported in the major Italian papers - quotes a person described as being "very close to al-Qaeda" in Yemen.

The paper is edited by Abdel al-Bari Atwan, who is said to be the last journalist to interview Osama bin Laden in 1996. According to the report, bin Laden is himself closely following preparations for an attack against the US and aims to "change the face of world politics and economics". The operative is quoted as saying that "this will be shown by the fact that we now control a major part of the south of Somalia".

1. Well they certainly have the new recruits to do so!

Thanks Bush!!! There's your history written for you!

2. I thought that Bush had been touting the notion...

...that his beloved administration had broken up al-Qaeda, and rendered them unable to communicate with
each other.

So, what type of attack--if this "article" is to be believed--do people think that they'll try to pull off?
I can't imagine that they'd try another multiple hijacking, again.

Somalia, huh? With all of the wiretapping, email snooping, and mail reading going on--you would think that our
government would be able to thwart al-Qaeda taking over the better portion of an entire country.

Guess not.

I'm sure there was not big stamp on it "DON'T OPEN UNTIL AFTER ELECTIONS"
