According to documents taken from Osama bin Laden’s compound the night of the raid in which he was killed, the terrorist chief had ordered members of al Qaeda to plan an attack on President Obama and General Petraeus. The recently declassified documents indicated that bin Laden hoped that forcing Vice President Biden into the oval office would to send the U.S. into chaos.
The Washington Post reports:
Before his death, Osama bin Laden boldly commanded his network to organize special cells in Afghanistan and Pakistan to attack the aircraft of President Barack Obama and Gen. David Petraeus.
"The reason for concentrating on them," the al-Qaeda leader explained to his top lieutenant, "is that Obama is the head of infidelity and killing him automatically will make (Vice President Joe) Biden take over the presidency. … Biden is totally unprepared for that post, which will lead the U.S. into a crisis. As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour … and killing him would alter the war’s path" in Afghanistan.
