2000 millennium attack plots
The Year 2000 attack plots, also known as the Millennium Plot, were a series of terrorist attacks that were planned to occur on or near January 1, 2000, with the bombing of four sites in Jordan, the bombing of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and the bombing of the .〔"(Planned Jan. 2000 Attacks Failed or Were Thwarted; Plot Targeted U.S., Jordan, American Warship, Official Says )", Vernon Loeb, ''The Washington Post'', December 24, 2000 (mirrored at ())〕 The first two plots were foiled by law enforcement agencies; the third failed after a boat filled with explosives sank before detonating. While the various attacks were planned to occur around the same date, there is no evidence that the three plots were coordinated in any way.
==Jordan bombing plot==
In Jordan, members of al-Qaeda planned to bomb four sites: a fully booked Radisson hotel in Amman, Jordan; the border between Jordan and Israel; Mount Nebo, a Christian holy site; and a site on the Jordan River where John the Baptist is said to have baptized Jesus. These locations were chosen to target tourists from the United States and Israel. The most active participant was a Bostonian taxi driver named Raed Hijazi.
On November 30, 1999, Jordanian intelligence intercepted a call between Abu Zubaydah, the leader of the plot, and Khadr Abu Hoshar, a Palestinian militant terrorist. In the conversation, Zubaydah stated, "The time for training is over." Sensing that the attack was imminent, Jordanian police arrested Hoshar and fifteen others on December 12, 1999.
The authorities put twenty eight suspects on trial. Twenty two of them were quickly found guilty. Six of them, including Hijazi, were sentenced to death. Abu Zubaydah was sentenced to death ''in absentia''. Loa'i Mohammad Haj Bakr al-Saqa and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, were sentenced in absentia in 2002, for their part in the plot which included using poison gas during the bombing.
