I remember that too. I sure wish we had a way of filing these incidents by subject so we could find them again.

Good morning everyone!

I'm trying to catch up on the thread but wanted to post something that I just read in our local paper. I haven't seen most of this information but please forgive me if someone has already posted.

This came from:
http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20051007/news_1n7bush.html

I am a subscriber so I'm not sure if you have to be in order to read this link. I hope not!

CLIP:
Three plots cited targeted U.S. territory, including plans to use hijacked airplanes to attack the West Coast in mid-2002 and the East Coast in mid-2003.

Two sources familiar with intelligence information said the West Coast plot targeted the Library Tower, the tallest building in Los Angeles, and involved Malaysian militants and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, who was captured in 2003.

The third plot was the case of Jose Padilla, a former Chicago gang member who converted to Islam and allegedly plotted with top al-Qaeda commanders to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" in a U.S. city.

Padilla, whose plot never materialized, was designated an enemy combatant by Bush and is being held without criminal charge at a Navy brig in South Carolina.

Do you all remember when there was talk on the thread about the Library Tower in LA? I sure do and it seems that the great researchers on this thread were dead on!
