This is Deep

Through my wanderings online and on Google, I came accross a very disturbing story surrounding a 1995 terrorist plot known as Project Bojinka.

The whole story is an investigative exposee about how Al Qaeda-linked terrorists tried to kill the Pope, the US President, and bomb eleven airplanes. Some of the names are directly associated with 9/11, and there's a very strongly backed theory that Project Bojinka's bomb plot was the precursor to 9/11.

It's a very long but well detailed read. I'm mainly posting about it because the story completely blew me away - the details, the plot, the timing, the investigation... everything seemed to come from a John Grisham novel, but in a spooky kind of way.
