Al Qaeda plans 'revisit' to White House, Capitol
Washington Times ^ | 2/25/04 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 02/24/2004 11:38:14 PM CST by kattracks

The al Qaeda terrorist group still is planning to attack the White House and Congress — targets the group missed on September 11 — and a growing extremist Muslim movement is threatening the United States, the directors of the FBI and CIA told Congress yesterday.
"There are strong indications that al Qaeda will revisit missed targets until they succeed, such as they did with the World Trade Center," FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III told the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. "And the list of missed targets now includes both the White House as well as the Capitol."
Mr. Mueller said al Qaeda is seeking to obtain nuclear, chemical and biological weapons for attacks on targets that also include transportation systems, such as subways, bridges in major cities and airliners.

Add the pentagon. It was a miss like the first wtc bombing, and I think it's a key target for them to open the door for more attacks.
