‘Blueprint’ for London Attack Found, Paper Says
A British newspaper said it has found a notebook at an Al Qaeda training camp in southern Afghanistan that contains a terrorist “blueprint” for an attack on London.
Early editions of the Observer said that “terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden have drawn up plans for a devastating bomb attack on the City of London,” the capital’s financial district.
The 80 pages contained step-by-step instructions for constructing a remote-controlled van bomb like those used against the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, the report said.
The notebook was found in a room where papers had been tossed on a bonfire in the Kandahar camp, the report said.
