Report Says Bin Laden Was Plotting Obama's Assassination

A major U.S. newspaper reports Osama bin Laden ordered al-Qaida to assassinate U.S. President Barack Obama and General David Petraeus, who was then the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan.

Washington Post columnist David Ignatius reported Friday documents taken from bin Laden's compound describe the scheme.  Bin Laden wrote that killing Obama would ensure Vice President Joe Biden would come to power, someone bin Laden said was "totally unprepared" for the post.
