Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda has reorganised and is planning an operation against the US similar to the September 11 attacks, a member of the Islamic militant group told an Arabic magazine.
In the article in Sunday’s edition of the London-based weekly Al-Majalla, made available in advance to Reuters, an Al Qaeda ‘‘media coordinator’’ named as Thabet bin Qais said that striking the US consulate in Karachi was not a priority.
‘‘Striking the US consulate is not a priority for the organisation compared to the plans being made now for a strike of the size of the September 11 attacks,’’ the magazine said, quoting bin Qais indirectly.
‘‘Al Qaeda is still way ahead of the Americans and their allies in the intelligence war,’’ he added in the comments, which Al-Majalla said he sent to them via e-mail.
