  John P. O'Neill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Patrick O'Neill (February 6, 1952–September 11, 2001) was a top American anti-terrorism expert who worked as a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation until late 2001.
In 1995, O'Neill began to intensely study the roots of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing after he assisted in the capture of Ramzi Yousef, who was the leader of that plot.
In the PBS Frontline documentary, "The Man Who Knew", it states that John O'Neill is buried in the churchyard of St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, the church where he once served as an altar boy.

Miller's narration contained information to the effect that one of bin Laden's aides was cooperating with the F.B.I. The leak of that detail created, in Isham's words, "a firestorm in the bureau."
