Bin Laden ‘in plot to attack European cities’
Several months ago, bin Laden sent a directive to al-Qaida affiliates and partners that he wanted a Mumbai-style attack on at least three European countries – the United Kingdom, Germany and France – National Public Radio said, citing intelligence officials and people familiar with the matter.
In 2008, 10 heavily armed gunmen killed 166 people and wounded more than 300 in three luxury hotels, a railway station and restaurants in the Indian city.
