As Navy warships motored into international waters off the coast of Yemen to aid in the search for Al Qaeda escapees, President George W. Bush stood before paintings of Revolutionary War Minutemen Thursday and touted the success of international cooperation in the war on terror. In his speech to the National Guard Association in Washington, Bush revealed new details about a foiled 2002 Al Qaeda plan to use "shoe bombs" to hijack a commercial airplane and fly it into the tallest building on the West Coast -- a Los Angeles skyscraper that intelligence analysts later determined was the Library Tower, now named the U.S. Bank Tower. Later in the day, counter-terrorism czar Frances Fragos Townsend told reporters that two South Asian and two Southeast Asian countries had helped arrest all four cell leaders planning the attack, which was designed as a follow up to 9/11 and originally revealed in 2003. Townsend said all four cell leaders are still in custody, although she wouldn't specify where.
