on 10th anniversary of 9/11 - plans to derail trains in US:
The courier and his brother were among those killed in Monday's raid. In recent days, the materials taken from bin Laden's compound continued to yield a trove of intelligence, including details about a possible attack on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Administration officials were expected to hold a briefing Saturday, focusing on the intelligence aspects of the raid.

As early as February 2010, al Qaeda members discussed a plan to derail trains in the United States by placing obstructions on tracks over bridges and valleys, the alert said, according to one law enforcement official.

The plan was to be executed later this year, coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, though no specific rail system was identified, the official said.

2. I soooo appreciate that CNN has decided to notify
the terrorist orgs now that their number one planner was taken out.
After all, can' t have them not getting the message.
Nothing like getting the word out.

Dipshits!
