Millennium Plot, United States

Attacks were planned at the new year of 2000 by al-Qaeda against the United States and elsewhere. The confirmed attempt was by Ahmed Ressam, captured on the U.S. border with Canada. Investigations showed him to be associated with a support cell in Canada.

Ressam also had affiliations with the Armed Islamic Group of Algeria and Egyptian Islamic Jihad. This operation was part of additional al-Qaeda plans, including a Millenium Plot in Jordan.
