have revealed that the terrorist was planning a second attack against the US just three years after 9/11.

After bin Laden spent three years incommunicado in the wake of 9/11 – a necessary silence he maintained while fleeing US troops – the terrorist leader reconnected with surviving al-Qaeda members and began planning his next attack.According to the letter, bin Laden suggested the next attack be similar to the September 11th attacks, but that plan would have seen operatives chartering the planes rather than hijacking commercial airliners.

Dr Lahoud explained how bin Laden was involved in the granular planning of the attack, even utilising his engineering background to devise methods for causing destruction. At the time al-Qaeda's resources had been decimated by the war in Afghanistan, thankfully preventing the organisation from carrying out the attack.
