Bloomberg said that officials "do not have any reason to believe" that any of the plotters "are in New York at this point in time"

(AP) — Some of the al-Qaida plots foiled by the U.S. and its allies in the past four years that President Bush referred to in a speech Thursday, according to the White House:

• Three attempted attacks within the United States, including two that would have used hijacked commercial airliners. One plan targeted the West Coast in mid-2002 and the other the East Coast in mid-2003.

• Three attempts within Britain, including one with multiple urban targets and another using hijacked commercial airliners to attack Heathrow Airport.

• Two attempts to bomb ships along highly traveled, international shipping routes.

• Additionally, the U.S. government prevented at least five attempts by al-Qaida to case highly populated and tourist areas within the United States, including the Brooklyn Bridge in New York.
