	Ramzi Yousef - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ramzi Ahmed Yousef or Ramzi Mohammed Yousef (also transliterated as Ramzi Yusuf, Ramzi Youssef) (Arabic: رمزى يوسف), birth name possibly Abdul Basit Mahmoud Abdul Karim, (Arabic: عبد الباسط كريم) was one of the planners of the first World Trade Center attack and a number of other attacks, including Operation Bojinka.
		Ramzi's father was a Pakistani engineer who worked for Kuwait Airways, is believed to be from the Baluchistan province of Pakistan, same as Yousef's uncle, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.
		Raised in a rural Palestinian community in Kuwait, Ramzi excelled in math and science, but was treated as a second-class citizen, which formed his underlying grievance.

	Ramzi Yousef
		Ramzi Yousef's most recent distinction is his status as the resident of the most expensive studio apartment in the history of the world.
		It turned out that young Ramzi had a particular genius for the latter, and he was soon promoted from student to teacher.
		Blowin' Shit Up The first major explosion Ramzi Yousef added to his resume was significant in a number of ways -- the World Trade Center.

	THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMB: Who is Ramzi Yousef? And Why It Matters - The National Interest, Winter, 1995/96
		Ramzi Yousef's plots were the most ambitious terrorist conspiracies ever attempted against the United States.
		Rather, it seems that Ramzi Yousef risked going to the Pakistani consulate with such flimsy documents because he wanted investigators to conclude that he was in fact Abdul Basit, and so would stop trying to determine his real identity.
		As before, those who have the information about Ramzi Yousef and his bombing conspiracies are not concerned with the question of state sponsorship, or at least consider it secondary to their trials; while those who are concerned with state sponsorship are denied the information that they need to investigate the question properly.

		Highlighted by CIA was that one of Youssef’s associates -- Abdul Hakim Murad -- was an airline pilot who had attended flight schools in the United States.
		Though Youssef had disappeared minutes before the raid on his Manila apartment, he was traced to Islamabad, Pakistan, and arrested there on February 7 by FBI agents and Pakistani soldiers.
		As the Bureau learned more about Youssef and his associates, it became clear that they were obsessed with hijackings and with spectacular attacks against vulnerable targets.

		In the Philippines as part of Project Bojinka, Ramzi Youssef, on behalf of Iraq, recruited conspirators to attempt to simultaneously bomb five or more U.S. 747 aircraft over the Pacific, using delayed timer tactics with many similarities to Barbouti’s 1988 bombing of Pan Am 103.
		Youssef also conceived of plans to highjack planes bound for the United States in order to dive them, in suicide attacks, into U.S. targets like CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, a tactic later adopted by Osama bin Laden.
		Youssef flew frequently from Manila to Cebu City in the Philippines in order to recruit potential terrorists at Southwest College in Cebu City.

		Indeed, Youssef was part of a team of Barbouti’s agents or employees who were to be “on the ground” in Kuwait, awaiting the Iraqi invasion in August 1990.
		Three years later Ramzi Youssef attempted to use sodium cyanide to create cyanide gas to release into the ventilation system of the World Trade Center as part of the 1993 New York terrorist bombing.
		Due primarily to Ramzi Youssef’s involvement in planning both attacks, the bombing of the Murrah Building in April 1995 had dramatic similarities to the February 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

	WorldNetDaily: Suit: Iraq masterminded attack
		Specifically, the suit details meetings between Nichols and Ramzi Youssef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, during Nichols' travel to the Philippines between 1990 and 1994.
		The suit says that prior to the Gulf War, "Iraq had developed a covert network in the United States to acquire materials for weapons of mass destruction." After the war, the suit alleges, "Iraq converted that network into organized terrorist cells," some of which "were directly involved in" the OKC bombing.
		"Youssef also conceived of plans to highjack planes bound for the United States in order to dive them, in suicide attacks, into U.S. targets like CIA headquarters a tactic later adopted by [al-Qaida terrorist group founder] Osama bin Laden," the suit said.

		Based on the testimony of a variety of witnesses, it's believed that Nichols allied himself with a group of Islamic militants located in Cebu City in the Philippines, where he was instructed in the art of bomb-making by Ramzi Youssef, an Iraqi agent.
		Moreover, Ramzi Youssef is the same individual who was subsequently convicted of participation in the 1993 Twin Towers bombing.
		Noteworthy, the attacks upon both the Murrah Building and the Twin Towers (1993) involved the use of fertilizer bombs, reflecting the expertise of Ramzi Youssef.

		“I think it’s probably a good argument that having Ramzi Youssef off the streets saved lives, given his history and given what he has plotted and planned,” she said.
		Youssef masterminded the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York.
		Once tracked down, a rendition brought him to the United States, where he now is serving a life sentence in prison, Rice pointed out during a press briefing just prior to departing for her trip to Europe.

		He went on to say that Youssef was the "mastermind" behind the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, and that the evidence pointed to connections between him, Murrad and Nichols in the Philippines.
		Evidence suggests that Youssef and Murrad are Iraqi agents, Charles Key, a former Oklahoma legislator and currently a primary member of the Oklahoma Bombing Investigation Committee, told WorldNetDaily yesterday.
		Johnston said the evidence supports his claim that the FBI was "ignoring substantial evidence of a major international terrorist offensive, conceived and planned in the Philippines sometime between 1991 and 1994," which "produced tragic consequences of its own."

		A spokesman for Abu Sayyaf told a local radio station that the remaining 29 hostages would be released only if Ramzi Youssef was freed.
		Last December the Philippines military confirmed that it was monitoring several local Islamist separatist groups alleged to have ties to bin Ladin, after the US government warned that Americans abroad could face attacks over the New Years holidays.

		Philippine cops arrested an accomplice of Youssef in 1995, while trying to track down members of an assassination plot on visiting Pope John Paul II.
		Youssef was later arrested in Pakistan, an operation that owed a lot to Philippine intelligence inputs.

		However, Nichols, who had a Filipino wife, traveled to the Philippines often and was able to hook-up with Islamic militants, including bomb-maker Ramzi Youssef, a pivotal character who was subsequently convicted of involvement with the1993 Twin Towers bombing.
		Moreover, a civil lawsuit is now pending, filed by the Judicial Watch organization, which indicates that: "Plaintiffs assert that the entire plot was, in whole or part, orchestrated, assisted technically and/or financially, and directly aided by agents of the Republic of Iraq".
		In an editorial from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, it was stated by Ralph R. Reiland, Professor at Robert Morris University, that: "he (Clinton) pointed to 'hate-talk radio' as the culprit, the 'purveyors of hate and division' who 'leave the impression, by their very words, that violence is acceptable'.

		It first states that Ramzi Youssef arrived in the U.S. "with a perfectly forged Iraqi passport." The photocopy we have, however, shows no evidence of forgery, meaning that the guy came from Baghdad (and returned there) as someone known and accepted by the Iraqi authorities.
		According to the CIA (accepted by National Geographic) his real name and unforged identity are supposedly reflected in the Kuwaiti document he presented to New York's Pakistani consulate while obtaining the passport he used to leave the U.S. after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
		The trouble is that Karim's document says that he's is 5' 8" tall, whereas Ramzi Youssef, sitting in the federal pen in Colorado, is 6' tall.

		In fact, according to court documents and witness testimony, none other than Ramzi Youssef, who is now serving 240 years in prison for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, was the master terrorist pulling the strings for Iraq.
		Three years later, Youssef would attempt, but fail, to release this same chemical into the ventilation system of the World Trade Center as part of the 1993 bombing.
		When the attack on Oklahoma City was carried out, one of Youssef’s henchmen admitted verbally and in writing that Youssef’s “liberation army” was responsible.

		Yousef was caught but Yasin returned to Iraq and ABC News reported in 1994 he was on the Iraqi government payroll.
		Yousef escaped to Manila, where he lived in secret with Mohamed Jamal Khalifia, the brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden.
