U.S. officials say that Osama Bin Laden wanted to assemble a team to attack America on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, and had a hit list that included President Obama, General David Petraeus and a major U.S. sporting event.
The hit list was discovered in the "treasure trove" of information seized from Osama bin Laden's Pakistan compound after the Navy SEAL raid that killed him in May. Officials say he was intent on an attack on the upcoming 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, though the plot was only in the "discussion phase." He also remained obsessed with using aircraft to kill.
Officials tell ABC News that bin Laden wanted to fly a small plane into a sporting event to cause mass casualties.
"We have so many small airports, you could fly below radar," said Brad Garrett, former FBI special agent and now an ABC News consultant. "That's possibly doable.'
The primary target on bin Laden's hit list was President Obama. Officials tell ABC News that bin Laden was trying to hatch a plan to kill President Obama by shooting down Air Force One or Marine One, the president's plane and helicopter.
Officials say that Osama bin Laden, still obsessed with attacking airplanes, was trying to hatch a plan to kill Obama by shooting down Air Force One or Marine One.
Bin Laden hoped to kill General Petraeus, commander of forces in Afghanistan and soon to be CIA director the same way, either in a helicopter or fixed wing airplane with a missile or rocket propelled grenade.

MSM propaganda
And once again Der Officials can’t understand basic operational security so they blab their mouths to appear important.
Who is to say that Al Queda still doesn’t want to do this? I can believe the plane into a sporting event on the 10th anniversary since the muslims seem to like the symbolism.
Let me see if I understand this right: 9/11 was planned over several years, and the 10th anniversary follow up was still a drawing on a cocktail napkin two months before the date of attack?
Yea, right. Obama was doing everything Osama wanted so why kill him. Total BS.
Yep, on May 1st, Osama was “thinkin’ about getting the band back together”.
Probably the ONLY reason Hussein had his fellow muzzie killed.
FUBO GTFO 2012 !
I call BS. Why would bin Laden want to kill someone whose ideology and idiocy serve al-Qaeda`s interests?
I take it as given that anything about operation Osama is an out-and-out lie.
I´m surprised that Obama didn´t have Osama to the White House for talks.
“I call BS. Why would bin Laden want to kill someone whose ideology and idiocy serve al-Qaeda`s interests?”
Because like Obama, Osama also hates America.
A plane crashes, Obama blames Bush and the media bleats their love for the courageous one.
If Bin Laden had a list of 200 million people in the United States he was targeting listed by priority our useful idiot TOTUS would be the last name on the list.
September 11th... Week 1 of the NFL Schedule. Oh, wait....
Need a remind you that bin Laden was offed in the last year? Not sure how his own death is in his interest.
I'm aware of that... and you missed my point. I referred to the intel that showed bin Laden wanted to kill Obama. So my meaning was... why would bin Laden, when he was alive, have wanted to kill someone (Obama) whose ideology is linked to his own (bin Laden)?
why would bin Laden, when he was alive, have wanted to kill someone (Obama) whose ideology is linked to his own (bin Laden)?
For the same reason the Mob clips an associate? (Sorry, couldn’t resist!)
