Iranian Terror Plot

Representative Curt Weldon is alleging that the CIA ignored an Iranian plot to crash an airliner into the Seabrook nuclear plant in New Hampshire.

The memorandum reported that Ali relayed the Iranian plan to attack a nuclear reactor in New Hampshire during a secret meeting with Weldon on May 17, 2003. The plan, said to resemble that of Al Qaida's suicide strikes against New York and Washington in 2001, called for Iranian-backed insurgents to hijack Canadian passenger jets and crash them into the Seabrook reactor in New Hampshire.

Weldon quoted Ali as saying the attack had been called for between Nov. 23 and Dec. 3, 2003. But he said Iran postponed the attack until after the November 2004 presidential election.
