Default Report: Al-Qaida had London plan

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON, Dec. 16 � A British newspaper said it has found a notebook at an al-Qaida training camp in southern Afghanistan that contained a terrorist �blueprint� for an attack on London. Early editions of The Observer, a national Sunday newspaper, said �terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden have drawn up plans for a devastating bomb attack on the City of London,� the capital�s financial district.

from the story in Sunday editions of The Observer

THE 80-PAGE DOCUMENT contained step-by-step instructions for constructing a remote-controlled van bomb like those used against the U.S embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, the report said.
A scribbled note on one page suggested the target was Moorgate in the center of London�s financial district, The Observer said. Moorgate is a banking and insurance area, and the location of a stop on the London Underground railway.
The Observer said the language suggests the author was �British fundamentalist� � referring apparently to a Muslim fundamentalist from Britain in training in Kandahar.
It said most of the al-Qaida camps had been cleared out by U.S. special forces, but that �The Observer came across the padlocked compound ... when local Afghan residents led us to it.�
The notebook was found in a room where papers had been tossed on a bonfire in the camp in Kandahar, the report said.

HOW TO ACT IN PUBLIC
In addition to details of bomb construction, it explains how the man should behave in London to maintain his cover as part of a sleeper cell. Other documents found with the note suggest it was written early this year, The Observer said.

The newspaper quoted Scotland Yard as saying its anti-terrorist officers would investigate.
The Independent on Sunday, another weekly, carried a similar report and said the only reference to timing was �Main Strategy: 1-2 weeks.�
The Independent on Sunday said the handwritten notes covered 82 pages and were found by Daniel do Rosario, a journalist for the Portuguese newspaper Expresso, in a house at an al-Qaida training camp just outside Kandahar, captured last week.
The Observer did not say who found the notebook.

Cool. Looks like i'll have something to look at out my window after all. There i was thinking that the war on bin laden was over. So does anybody know when it's gonna happen cause i wana get my popcorn ready.

While i'm actually taking time to wirte i thought i'd just have a go at the americans. I love the way you've spent �2 000 000 on a single missile to destory tents worth about �10. Great!. I also love the way you've decided to attack the first country that attacks you. There's still terrorism all round the world yet the Americans seem to ignore it, if it's a country which can in any shape or form defend itself. Many people will dissagree (mainly Americans). Have any of you heard of the "IRA" they've been blowing stuff up in england and Ireland for years but the americans seem to have ignored them. In fact until recently they gained funds from people in America, or what about countries like china which still have amounts of terrorists. You don't see america threatening to attack them. The Americans are only interested in themselves. They act all high and might but they're really just selfish fuckers who don't give a damn about the rest of the world.

A good example of this is the convention where the amount of pollution made by each country was to be lowered. The only country to not agree were the Americans. The people who make the most fucking pollution!!!!!
