Ramzi Yousef

“Agents stormed a warehouse in Queens and caught several members of a terrorist cell in the act of assembling bombs” (FBI 100 First Strike: Global Terror in America). The FBI had over 700 agents in the investigation of this attack. The FBI made a large lead way when they found this warehouse. “Those who committed the crime were Islamic fundamentalists, people who believed in an extreme form of the religion of Islam” (Ochoa). The guy who rented the Ryder van was, Salameh. He was already in the FBI database. The FBI has flagged him as a potential terrorist. Yousef was Salameh partner in this bombing. Yousef had $100,000 transferred to him. This money was used to buy bomb making chemicals. “Yousef fled the United States. He was arrested in Islamabad, Pakistan. He was turned over to the FBI and was returned to the U.S. to stand Trail” (World Trade Center). Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is Yousef’s uncle. He gave Yousef advice, tips, and cash to carry out the bombing of the 1993 World Trade Center. “Five of the seven main bombers, are serving life sentences in federal super max prison in Florence, Colorado” (The 1993 World Trade Center Bombers: Where Are They Now?). There are between 2 million and 7 million Muslims in America. Since the 1993 bombing and 2001 plane attack, Home grown terrorism has dropped. Was 1993 and 2001 linked together? The evidence shows that it was the same group behind each other attacks. “Among the tallest buildings in the world, the twin towers…

Police say a white van in Toronto, Canada jumped a curb and intentionally struck at least eight people, and the driver has been taken into custody, according to WHIO. While police reported the cause of the incident remains unknown, the timing of the attack coupled with the cultural shift in Canada raises serious questions. The attack occurred a few miles away from where the Group of Seven foreign ministers of industrialized nations where gathered on Monday to discuss issues. Authorities in…

Have you ever wondered why did Al-Qaeda launched a terrorist attack on the United States? If you really think about there really isn’t a reason. Why kill thousands of people just to become known as a person who killed thousands of people? That sounds kind of gruesome. Doesn’t it sound kind of stupid to kill yourself in order to kill others. Why can’t everyone in the world get along? I learned a ton of new things about 9/11 when I watched the video. One of them is that Ramzi Yousef Was planning…

The parents of Ramzi Yousef were both Pakistanis. He was sent by his parents to the United Kingdom to steady his schooling at the Swansea Institute in Wales. Yousef majored in electronic engineering. After, his completion, he went back to Pakistan. During his stay in Pakistan Yousef acquired the knowledge of making bombs at a terrorist training camp. In February 26, 1993, Yousef was the main mastermind of the attack on the World Trade Center bombing (Inside 9/11). The bombing did not work as…

told was that Wall street could be one of the places they might attack. But they didn't take it as serious and their communication skills weren't the best so not everybody knew about this report for a while and when they knew they basically laughed it off. So for them to laugh it off and believe that nothing would happen to lead to 9/11 actually happen because if they had taken it seriously and communicated properly then 9/11 either wouldn't have had happen or have been stopped before happening.…

exactly 12:18 p.m a bomb explodes on the Vista Hotel's public parking garage, right below the 2 World Trade Center building. A 1,200lb bomb was implanted unsaid a Ryder truck that was parked in a parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. The result of the explosion created a 200x100 feet hole that caused the PATH station ceiling to collapse, killing over 6 people and leave 1,042 injured. During the time of investigation, in May 1994, it was found that four men named Mohammed Salameh,…

the year. This situation, conversely, is what put bin Laden on the CIA’s radar. After denouncing his king, bin Laden began to appear in intelligence reports as a “terrorist financer” (). It wasn’t until after bin Laden good-naturedly left his Sudanese alliance, eagerly welcomed by Afghanistan’s Taliban government, around 1996, that Clarke began to hear of a group that called itself “al Qaeda”. This group had been formed in 1990 by bin Laden out of paranoia after the first Gulf War. Ramzi Yousef,…

both recruiting new members and spreading their message. The first conference of Jihad was held in Brooklyn, New York. After that, we see them pop up in various cities throughout the country. A group called the I.U.P. published books and pamphlets from Texas that contained terrorist propaganda and anti-semitic rhetoric. Tampa, Florida also hosted many rallies and meetings conducted by terrorists groups. Kansas and Missouri were also found to be hosting these meetings throughout the 80’s and…

perceived as a threat. The Twin Towers represented America’s economic power and their role as leaders in globalization, which al Qaeda believed to be the reason the United States could control and occupy Islamic countries. The group also targeted the United States military not only because of their occupation but also because al Qaeda could never directly fight the U.S. military. Al Qaeda also opposed the United States foreign policy and wanted to create devastation for Americans so they…

Middle Eastern people are a threat to the United States because of the bombings and the oil it all should do based on the poverty and lack of understanding. Back in 1992 on December, first terrorist attack against Americans occurred in Yemen. When a bomb had erupted in a hotel used by U.S. military personnel involved in supporting the food for the people in to Somalia. Al-Qaeda launched a much deadlier attack in Yemen in October 2000 when it attacked the United States Ship Cole in the port of…
