NEWLY declassified documents reveal al-Qaeda’s terrorist kingpin Osama bin Laden was planning another devastating 9/11-style attack on America when he was killed by U.S. troops during a black ops raid on his Pakistan stronghold! But, if successful, the new assault would be even more daring and deadly than the 2001 jetliner hijackings that brought down New York City’s twin-tower World Trade Center, damaged the Pentagon and left nearly 3,000 dead. In a letter captured by Navy SEALs during their 2011 raid that resulted in 54-year-old bin Laden’s death, the terrorist writes to another al-Qaeda leader, “Rather than hijack a plane, operatives should charter one for their next attack on the U.S.” If that’s too difficult, suicide teams should target U.S. railways and oil yards, he orders.
