Bin Laden hints major assassination
Bin Laden hints major assassination


By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES


U.S. intelligence officials say a high-profile political assassination, triggered by the public release of a new message from Osama bin Laden, will lead off the next major al Qaeda terrorist attack, The Washington Times has learned.
The assassination plan is among new details of al Qaeda plots disclosed by U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports who, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the killing could be carried out against a U.S. or foreign leader either in the United States or abroad.

The new details of al Qaeda's plans were found on a laptop computer belonging to arrested al Qaeda operative Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan of Pakistan.

Boy, can they be a little more vague? A US or Foreign leader?

I'm told this leader may have a nose and/or two ears.

3. Duplicate
As much as it pains me, there is a previous thread from Drudge.
Please note: both Washington Times and Drudge are right-wing scum, so remember that when evaluating this story.
