Osama bin Laden aspired to damage the United States not only through persistent terror attacks, but also by attempting to inflame race and class tensions in hopes of tearing down the country from the inside out, according to officials briefed on the evidence trove recovered from the al Qaeda leader's Pakistan compound.

According to materials in the cache of documents recovered in the U.S. Navy SEAL raid that brought down the terror leader, bin Laden planned to specifically recruit African-American Muslim converts to carry out attacks on the homeland. The goal was to not only ? and maim in the actual operations, but to create a divisiveness that would cause more damage than al Qaeda could ever hope to do on their own.

"Because there were many blacks in the U.S., he wanted to capitalize on them to further the jihadi cause," one U.S. official told ABC News. "Al Qaeda sees the black convert community as ripe for recruiting."

While it has long been known that radical preachers and some prison imams have targeted the convert community for jihad recruitment, the references show core al Qaeda's keen interest in the tactic.

"This is pretty heady stuff," another person briefed on the material said.

But it's also strategy that civil rights activist and President of the National Action Network Rev. Al Sharpton said was "radical" and outrageous.

"I think it would be the most cynical abuse of African-Americans and America in general," Sharpton told ABC News. "Remember, Osama bin Laden killed blacks, whites, Latinos, everyone on 9/11... For him to use race relations in the U.S. in a way to support his terroristic barbarism is the absolute height of cynicism."

Minority groups have previously suffered in the aftermath of terror attacks or attempted attacks, though most of those incidents have been directed at Muslim-Americans. Ibrahim Hooper, National Communications Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said those incidents are not indicative of the American people and any belief by bin Laden that he could prompt widespread violence in such a way between any groups was a "fantasy."

"I think the viewpoint reflects more of a Neo-? , white supremacist outlook on American whites than anything based in reality," he said. "I think it's fantasy based on a fundamental misunderstanding of American society."

Still, Sharpton said that the revelation about al Qaeda's targeting of minorities should serve "not as a wake-up call as much as a tap on the shoulder" to minority leaders.

If racial tensions have created a vulnerability in U.S. national security, Sharpton said, "it becomes the responsibility for those of us in black leadership and activism to make sure that we carefully monitor who we let in our ranks and for what... and try to understand that we cannot be exploited as we try to stop the continuing injustices."

In the past, officials believed al Qaeda attempted to recruit fair-skinned European or Americans jihadis.

I've been afraid of this sort of thing. Last thing we need is black people being rounded up into "Freedom" camps because some lonely ? 's search for acceptance led to him suicide bombing a subway train.

    lol. This is how you know that Osama Bin Laden is a FAKE. How long has he been evading the U.S.A. counter-terrorist forces? 10 years? You're telling me in 10 years and all the years before that he couldn't hire any provocateurs or learn the craft (it's a talent to provoke people) by himself?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_provocateur

    The ? isn't as hard as it looks, yo. I've been in a contact with a few provocateurs in the real world. They're nothing to play around with and they can provoke you to literally do anything.

    What if tho... What if? *Playing Devil's Advocate...

    What I have learned over my years is that Blacks are the most confused Leaders/Followers. We'll stand up and stand out to fight oppression from an opposing race, but allow ourselves to lead us into doom and self destruction. What if the Taliban converted your favorite rapper. What if someone of the influence and power of a Diddy became a focal point of Taliban resistance against America. What if Diddy was able to convert Nas? What if Nas was able to covert lil wayne? Wayne influences YM, etc etc etc. Now check.... the masses ALREADY are mindless sheep against the soft glow of cash, status, and the like. But what if ur favorite rappers set those mindless sheep and followers one direction, one goal.

    Think about it......

    I've believed Bin Laden has been dead for some time. 2002 or so.

    They haven't joined forces in North America yet, but Islamic types have been linking up with South American gangs for quite some time.

    If we had real enemies out there, trying to form alliances with Mexican and Black gangs would be a great bit of grand strategy. The Islamics, especially the Arabs of the middle east are racist against blacks, probably mexicans, too, so they won't do it, but the Chinese and North Koreans have zero problem with that. China has been very active in Asia and South America.

    I smell Propaganda.

    They have always been positioning Black people for the blame for the country's ills.

    This is nothing but the beginning of the King Alfred Plan that they claim is fictional, even though they have implemented it on Japanese, Communists, Arabs, etc.

    They started it with the pseudo war on drugs, and the projecting of the black male image as a savage, thug, gangbanger, and ? .

    I heard ol boy talking about it on Satellite radio and the callers were getting amped. ................

    It might be propaganda, but if I were an anti-American terrorist overseas, I would try to link up with dissatisfied minorities here, too. The US does it overseas often(kurds, etc).

    During WWII, the Nazis dropped leaflets over Black troops, asking them why they are fighting for racist America that hates them, and that they should desert and come fight for hte Fuhrer instead. They had a point...

    yall do know that a race war in the states would wipe us out.....

    the moment this ? stated....every white person alive would shoot blacks on site...then it would give the mexicans a right to continue to shoot blacks and every other race will jump on the wagon and we'd really have a pic-a-nic

    the germans didnt an dont like blacks...when i go to germany...im excepted because of what i do an who im with...

    most races on this planet is brainwashed to not like blacks

    but its funny because a armed, controlled and well organized sub-african army made up of all sub or lower african countries...would damn near wipe this palnet clean
