Right on the Mark: February 26th, 1993

Fifteen years ago we got a glimpse into what would eventually become the horror of 9/11. However, after the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 the majority of the country went on as if nothing happened...

It's actually worse than that...

We didn't "go on" as if nothing happened...

The governement (sadly) decided to treat this as a job for attorneys and police instead of having a military rebuttal...Enemies of the US took this as "We don't mean business"...

And in exchange they got an enemy more determined because the US goverment came at them with court documents insteads of guns...

You don't "file legal briefs" against people who live and die by the sword because their God commands it......

Got them? Maybe some of them, but certainly not all of them.

Quote:
Agents and bomb technicians of the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) responded to the scene of the blast. An ATF bomb technician subsequently found the axle in the bomb crater with the VIN of the Ryder truck that was used to contain the explosives. Further investigation by ATF found that the vehicle had been rented by a Palestinian named Mohammad Salameh. Yousef's friends reported the van was stolen in an attempt to slow investigators down.

On March 4, 1993 authorities announced the capture of Salameh. In a sweep the same day, Salameh's arrest led to the apartment of Abdul Rahman Yasin in Jersey City, New Jersey, which Yasin was sharing with his mother, in the same building as Ramzi Yousef's apartment. Yasin was taken to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters in Newark, New Jersey, and was then released. The next day, he flew back to Iraq, via Amman, Jordan. Yasin was later indicted for the attack, and in 2001 he was placed on the initial list of the FBI Most Wanted Terrorists, on which he remains a fugitive today. He disappeared prior to 2003's U.S. coalition invasion in Operation Iraqi Freedom. In March 1994, Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima and Ahmad Ajaj were each convicted for the World Trade Center bombing. In May 1994, they were sentenced to life imprisonment.

The capture of Salameh and Yasin led authorities to Ramzi Yousef's apartment, where they found bomb-making materials and a business card from Mohammed Jamal Khalifa. Khalifa was arrested in relation to the crime on December 14, 1994, and was deported to Jordan by the INS on May 5, 1995. He was acquitted by a Jordanian court and lived as a free man in Saudi Arabia until his death in 2007.

So Iraq did have connections to the Twin towers. For more than 8 years before the SECOND attack. They were harboring.
