Osama Planned On Derailing Trains

Osama Bin Laden had big ideas for more terrorist attacks on the United States. The al Qaida leader, shot dead Sunday in a U.S. attack on his hideout, left notes and computer files sketching his plans. Those materials were scooped up by Navy SEALs who carried out the raid. Bin Laden wanted to derail trains so they would fall off bridges. He hoped for attacks on the anniversary of 9/11 and on national holidays. Federal counterterrorism officials say there's no evidence the schemes got much beyond the dream stage.
