	CNS - February 1993 Bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City
		The February 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City marked the beginning of an ugly new phase of terrorism involving the indiscriminate killing of civilians[1]...The World Trade Center bombing was motivated by the desire to kill as many people as possible.
		At the root of the WTC bombers’ intent to inflict mass casualties was a strong desire to punish, to seek revenge, and to underscore the dignity of Muslims.
		In the letter claiming responsibility for the bombing, they stated that their “action was done in response for the American political, economical, and military support to Israel, the state of terrorism, and to the rest of the dictator countries in the region.”[12]...

	World Trade Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the majority of space in the WTC complex was off-limits to the general public, 1 WTC (north tower) had a restaurant on the 107th floor called "Windows on the World", and 2 WTC (south tower) featured a public observation area aptly named "Top Of The World."
		On February 13, 1975, the WTC North Tower was beset by a fire, which "burned at temperatures in excess of 700°C for over three hours and spread over some 65 percent of the 11th floor, including the core, caused no serious structural damage to the steel structure.
		As a memorial to the victims of the bombing of the tower, a reflecting pool was installed with the names of those who had been killed in the blast.

	The World Trade Center Bombing
		The attacks against the WTC and the Pentagon were brought to you by the same people (though "human" may not be an appropriate term for them) who brought you the Oklahoma City Bombing.
		The bombing of the WTC was part of an ongoing plan (in effect since the Kennedy assassination if not before) to destroy democratic government (what's left of it anyway) in the United States and replace it by a dictatorship.
		Unknown to the latter, the former have also placed high explosives by the structural supports of the WTC towers, since they know that the impacts of the planes will not be enough to bring down the towers, and their plan is complete destruction of both towers.

	THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMB: Who is Ramzi Yousef? And Why It Matters - The National Interest, Winter, 1995/96
		Few Americans are aware of the true scale of the destructive ambition behind that bomb, this despite the fact that two years later, the key figure responsible for building it--a man who had entered the United Stares on an Iraqi passport under the name of Ramzi Yousef--was involved in another stupendous bombing conspiracy.
		The crucial element linking the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 to Libya, for example, was not intelligence but a piece of physical evidence--a microchip, part of the bomb's timing device, that could be tied to other bombs built by Libyan agents.
		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.

	Thoughts About The WTC Bombing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Not a massive number compared to the deaths in the IRA terrorism campaign over the past 25 years (and which, thank goodness, appears to be over despite the best efforts of Ian Paisley, who needs to be designated the Irish Ambassador to Kabul) but it's a lot of people.
		Back at Nuremberg, and more recently in the Hague, the world said that hatred of a race that led to mass killing was unacceptable (and that the death penalty was appropriate for the perpetrators in certain cases.) There is nothing that makes it more acceptable to kill WASP Americans than Jews, Croats, Muslims or Tutsis.

		But the man responsible for planning the WTC bomb, Ramzi Yousef, proved much harder to track down - and it was in dealing with him that experts contend the US should have first realised the strength of what they were now up against.

		Then, imagining her case on WTC I proven, she goes on to apply its thesis to virtually every terrorist attack on the U.S. in the Middle East since, on little more evidence than that such attacks served Iraqi interests (the same logic many Muslims use in blaming Israel for WTC II).
		Briefly, the only piece of real evidence that Iraq was responsible for WTC I is that one of the participants lived in Iraq and returned there afterwards and is said by neighbors to be an Iraqi government employee.
		The FBI and CIA bureaucrats must hate the fact that reconstruction of the WTC is taking so long because the gaping hole in the ground there now is a monument to their ineptitude.
