Bush: Al Qaeda attack on West Coast thwarted

Thursday, February 9, 2006; Posted: 10:48 a.m. EST (15:48 GMT)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush gave new details Thursday about a foiled terror attack in 2002 in which plotters planned to use hijacked commercial airplanes to strike the West Coast.

Bush said the West Coast plot targeted the tallest building in Los Angeles, since renamed the US Bank Tower, and involved Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 attacks, who was captured in 2003.

Bush had referred to the plot before. In an address last October, Bush said the United States and its allies had foiled at least 10 serious plots by the al Qaeda terror network in the past four years, including plans for September 11-like attacks on both U.S. coasts.

The White House initially would not give details of the plots but later released a fact sheet with a brief, and vague, description of each.

One of the 10 cases involved Jose Padilla, a former Chicago, Illinois, 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.

Seriously, are you in 5th grade or what?

Your ability to intelligently debate on any serious subject matter is virtually nil, even after much trying.

One would almost have to go out of their way to be so incompetent.
