Officials Told of ‘Major Assault’ Plans. In August, Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad passed on to FBI and CIA officials indications that up to 200 terrorists were planning a “major assault on the United States”, linked to bin Laden. Los Angeles Times Meanwhile, “America and the West are bracing themselves for

plotted new outrages.

The most solid evidence so far is the discovery that

five associates of the suicide gang had booked seats on

two internal passenger flights, taking them from Texas

to California, in two days’ time.” The Times of London
