(CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Information taken from Osama bin
Laden's compound after his death is revealing details of
al-Qaida's plans, including a potential plot against U.S.
rail lines.
That means tighter security on rail lines everywhere. An
alert to law enforcement officials in all 50 states has
been sent out.
Mass transit has remained a target. It is the most
vulnerable, according to Homeland Security officials and
has been the focus of numerous terrorist plots in the
U.S.
Could a 2007 sabotage incident targeting Metra be part of
a terrorist plot? That's the question authorities are
asking after information about a plot targeting trains
was found in the paperwork or computer hard drives seized
by Navy SEALs during the raid that killed bin Laden.
In 2007, several railroad spikes were removed from the
tracks used by Metra's Electric and South Shore lines.
Despite a $50,000 reward, the FBI has not found those
responsible.
"It is still an active case. Fortunately, we haven't had
any other circumstances like this since then, and we will
continue to be very vigilant in surveying all of our
property," said Judy Pardonnet, Metra spokesperson.
Congressman Bobby Rush rode a Metra train Friday, saying
Chicago needs to stay vigilant.
"We knew that in the mind of that madman, Chicago was
present in his mind. Praise be to God, he was never able
to fulfill his desire and execute his plans," said Rush.
Congressman Rush and other officials joined with Metra
leaders Friday morning to officially dedicate the new
35th Street train station on the Rock Island line. The
new station offers a mass transit alternative for White
Sox fans going to U.S. Cellular Field.
Metra has stepped up security at some of its train stops
in the wake of the warning from Homeland Security.
Materials indicated that al-Qaida was interested in
targeting Chicago, New York, L.A. and Washington.
"You can't guard hundreds of miles of track, and if they
can get to one location that is not well guarded and put
explosives on it or do something to cause the train to
derail, that is a lot easier than going after an
aircraft," said Richard Clarke, ABC News consultant.
Homeland Security issued a bulletin saying that as of
February 2010, al-Qaida was allegedly contemplating
conducting an operation against trains at an unspecified
location in the United States on the tenth anniversary of
September 11, 2001. As one option, al-Qaida was hooking
into tipping a train by tampering with the rails so that
the train would fall off the tracks at either a valley or
a bridge.
The CTA is now on a heightened state of vigilance, and
Amtrak said it will employ appropriate countermeasures
when necessary.
One U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity
says the plot was aspirational. He says it was just a
plan, nothing had been set in motion.
