SEATTLE -- A document released by the Pentagon says the "Plaza Bank" in Washington was on al-Qaida's list of targets. Since al-Qaida targeted tall, high-profile targets it may be a reference to the 76-story Columbia Center, the tallest building in Washington. The document is the censored transcript of the closed-door tribunal at Guantanamo Bay for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. It says he confessed to planning the Sept. 11 attack and 30 other plots. Another downtown Seattle bank is the Bank of America Fifth Avenue Plaza. Seattle FBI agent Ray Lauer said he could not comment on what Mohammed might have meant or whether the FBI was previously warned to take any special precautions involving such a bank.
