## Resource

Newly declassified CIA files reveal Osama bin Laden was plotting attacks on Britain as early as 1998—years before 9/11—with intelligence showing he targeted the UK and U.S. on their own soil, even as his network recruited militants in London and planned hijackings that could have devastated Western cities.
