President Bush said that the 72-story building, known as the Library Tower until U.S. Bancorp acquired naming rights in 2003, was to have been the target of a follow-up attack by Al Qaeda after the terrorist strikes of Sept. 11, 2001. Officials have discussed the alleged plot numerous times in recent years as an example of terrorist actions that might have been foiled by government vigilance, but Mr. Bush offered new details. The White House press secretary, Scott McClellan, said federal officials had passed along the new information to the authorities in Los Angeles and Sacramento, telling them that Mr. Bush would discuss it later.
