After reviewing the documents and computers stored in the mansion of Abbottabad (Pakistan) which was hiding Osama Bin Laden, U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded that the creator of Al Qaeda continued to play a key role in the organization. He supervised and inspired many of the bloodiest coups launched by terrorists in recent years the hypothesis that the role of Bin Laden had been reduced to living symbol of jihadist terrorism has been contradicted by recent revelations.
Bin Laden still had a say in decisions and future of the group. Documents seized included a notebook with handwritten notes dated February 2010 in which raised the possibility of violating the U.S. rail network, derailing a convoy passing through a bridge. Terrorists shuffled Christmas or the tenth anniversary of the attacks of 11-S to perpetrate the attack.
In any case, American officials say there is no evidence that the hypothetical attack was in an advanced stage of preparation. "We have no information about any imminent terrorist threat to the U.S. rail sector, but wanted to warn our allies about the alleged conspiracy. It is unclear whether they have carried out new plans since February last year, "said the State Department spokesman, Matthew Chandler.
Three law enforcement and national security of the United States revealed that the threat mentioned in the newsletter Homeland Security goes back a year and nuance that no new data have emerged pointing to the existence of a specific threat to trains or any other purpose in the territory of the United States.

The spies had been working there since August, when it was determined the location Bin Laden.
Much of the monitoring device remained active until finally it occurred against the complex mission in the night between Sunday and Monday. The spies did not participate in the assault and has since used the building remains closed. None of the members of the mission was able to get a picture or voice recording of bin Laden in the ten months that remained vigilant.
In fact, intelligence officials emphasize the rigorous training followed by the terrorist to avoid detection. Consulted officials added that the operation was carried out with utmost secrecy, for fear that the objectives are identified and fled again. Another source has sought to highlight that the biggest mistake made by bin Laden was installed in a building of three floors, which was viewed from many angles.
United States came close to killing Bin Laden in July 2007, but the doubts at the last minute of their presence and the fear of causing a high number of civilian casualties foiled the operation. It was bombing the Afghan mountains of Tora Bora, where the former leader of Al Qaeda was going to meet with his lieutenants to plan a wave of suicide bombings against U.S.
and European interests. The story is included in the book Fighting Back: The Untold Story of the secret campaign against Al Qaeda, to be published in August, and seen by The New York Times.
