Plans for bomb attack on London found in Kandahar
Plans for a bomb attack on London have been discovered in a terrorist base in Kandahar. There is no indication whether the writer had already left on his mission to Britain before the 11 September attacks. In step-by-step instructions it describes how to construct a huge remote-controlled van bomb - identical to those used by al-Qaeda against the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania with lethal effect in 1998. A scribbled note on top of one page suggests the intended target was Moorgate in the centre of London's financial district.
