If so, those plans are still in process and unaffected by bin Laden's death.

CBS News says <http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/05/05/eveningnews/main20060229.shtml> memos reference New York, Washington, Chicago or Los Angeles, along with such notable dates as July 4, Sept. 11 and New Year's. CBS and ABC News obtained a bulletin issued tonight by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security that describes the desire to derail a train. ABC quotes <http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/osama-bin-laden-evidence-al-qaeda-considered- 911/story?id=13536789> the bulletin, which was sent to rail agencies: "As of February 2010, al-Qaeda was allegedly contemplating conducting an operation against trains at an unspecified location in the United States on the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001. As one option, al-Qaeda was looking into trying to tip a train by tampering with the rails so that the train would fall off the track at either a valley or a bridge." In a statement <http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1304632982913.shtm> , DHS said the agency has "no information of any imminent terrorist threat to the U.S. rail sector but wanted to make our partners aware of the alleged plotting."
