Documents found at osama Bin Laden's hideout in Abbottabad suggest he was planning a series of attacks on the US on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 The FBI and Homeland Security chiefs have warned rail operators that there may still be horror plots to derail passenger trains -- sending them plunging to destruction. The alert came as it was revealed bin Laden, 54, was shot by US Navy Seals as he tried to grab two gunsu00a0-- and pushed his wife into the line of fire. The rail peril bulletin read, "As of February 2010, al-Qaeda was allegedly contemplating conducting an operation against trains at an unspecified location in the United States on the 10th anniversary of September 11, 2001. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2011/may/wtc.jpg" border="5" /> Blitz awaits? Documents revealed that al Qaeda was trying to tip a train by tampering with the rails on the 9/11 attack anniversary. "As one option, al-Qaeda was looking into trying to tip a train by tampering with the rails so the train would fall off the track at a valley or a bridge." It is the first evidence to emerge as intelligence chiefs analyse DVDs and memory sticks and papers seized during Sunday's mission to take out Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. US soldiers were said to have found an AK-47 assault rifle and a Makarov handgun in the terror chief's lair. Panic-stricken bin Laden apparently shoved his wife Amia (27) toward the Navy Seal who shot him. Sources said the warlord was scared and "completely confused" as the Special Forces men attacked. Contradictions Meanwhile, further details have emerged about bin Laden's life in the Abbottabad compound. A senior Pakistani military official said one of bin Laden's wives told investigators she had been living in the compound for five years, along with her husband. White House counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan had originally suggested that bin Laden was among those who was armed within the compound. Early accounts of Sunday night's raid had suggested a lengthy exchange of fire throughout the 40-minute operation. But US officials now say that only one person fired on the US special forces. He is believed to have been Bin Laden's courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti, who was killed at the start of the raid. Critics have raised concerns about the legality of the operation after the US revised its account to acknowledge Bin Laden was unarmed when shot dead. However, the US has maintained that his killing was "an act of national self-defence".
