Bin Laden's Love for 7 / 7
"David DUCHOVNY step aside!," by Younghusband, Coming Anarchy, 2 October 2004, http://www.cominganarchy.com/archives/2004/10/02/david-duchovny-step-aside/ (from Curzon at Coming Anarchy).
Younghusband of CA saw al Qaeda's love of seven last October...
According to the 9/11 Commission Report Osama Bin Laden (UBL) pressured Khalid Sheik Mohammed (KSM) to set the "planes operation" in motion on May 12th 2001, exactly 7 months after the attack on the USS Cole Oct 12 2000. Due to training issues KSM said he couldn’t pull off the attacks that quickly and it was postponed to the now famous 9/11. What is the religious/historical significance for AQ of second wave attacks 7 months later? (and if anyone can answer this please do)

Probably nothing at all.

Adam,
It's hard to say. Most likely is that he feels it is a generally lucky number. Casual superstition is by no means limited to the Enemy in the world.
