What do you do when you ’re a terrorist pent up in a huge , rundown compound with no speech sound or internet ? Write down “ vague , aspirational ” terror plots in your notebook computer , the NYT report . Like derailing a caravan on Christmas .
The semi - secret plan , seize in a stash of documents when Bin Laden ’s house was raided , had n’t been put into any sort of apparent motion — but envisage tampering with American caravan tracks to send one flying off a span on a important day . Christmas , the 9/11 anniversary , or State of the Union Address were all take . Despite being nothing more than conceptual scribblings , Homeland Security ’s taking the notion gravely , and has discharge warnings to railing companies .
We question what else was in that notebook computer — no doubt the guy came up with more than this half - bake string idea during all those age . [ NYT ]
