New York Post, February 26, 2023<\/h3>\n

30 years ago, the FBI might have had its biggest bomb: the World Trade Center attack<\/a><\/h1>\n
\n
By James Bovard<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Thirty years ago Sunday, the largest terrorist attack then in American history occurred when a 1,200-pound bomb exploded beneath the World Trade Center<\/a> in New York City.<\/p>\n

It was sheer luck that the explosion did not topple the entire skyscraper and kill thousands of people.<\/p>\n

Politicians solemnly marked the anniversary, but dignitaries made no mention of the FBI\u2019s role in that disaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Nov. 5, 1990, Rabbi Meir Kahane was assassinated at a New York hotel. Kahane advocated banishing all Arabs from Israel and the territories, and his political party was banned from the Knesset for \u201cinciting racism\u201d and \u201cendangering security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kahane was shot by 36-year-old Egyptian immigrant El Sayyid Nosair, part of an anti-Israeli cabal of New York-area Muslims. When police searched Nosair\u2019s residence, they carried off 47 boxes of documents, paramilitary manuals, maps and diagrams of buildings (including the World Trade Center).<\/p>\n

No one in the New York FBI office could read Arabic, so those documents \u2014 later labeled \u201ca road map\u201d to the 1993 bombing \u2014 were left in storage for more than two years.<\/p>\n

A 2002 congressional report noted the NYPD \u201cresisted attempts to label the Kahane assassination a \u2018conspiracy\u2019 despite the apparent links to a broader network of radicals\u201d because it \u201cwanted the appearance of speedy justice and a quick resolution to a volatile situation.\u201d Osama bin Laden reportedly financed Nosair\u2019s legal defense.<\/p>\n

The trial, which began in late 1991, included riots outside the courthouse, death threats and chants of \u201cDeath to the Jews.\u201d The FBI placed an informant named Emad Salem, a 43-year-old former Egyptian military officer, in the midst of the Muslim protesters.<\/p>\n

Salem insinuated himself and became the bodyguard for Sheik Abdel Rahman, a radical Muslim cleric. Despite stark evidence, a New York jury bizarrely found Nosair not guilty of murder.<\/p>\n

In mid-1992, Salem repeatedly warned the FBI that radical Muslims were planning to carry off a catastrophic bombing in New York City. FBI supervisors were convinced he was concocting tall tales and ended payments.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 26, 1993, a massive bomb in a van exploded in the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center, killing six people, injuring more than a thousand and causing half a billion dollars in damage. If the vehicle had been parked a few feet closer to one of the pillars, an entire tower could have collapsed.<\/p>\n

The FBI \u201ccracked the case\u201d when a knucklehead plotter<\/a> demanded a refund for his $400 deposit for the Ryder rental van used for the bombing.<\/p>\n

Time observed the FBI<\/a> \u201clooked supremely capable in speedily rounding up suspects in the World Trade Center bombing.\u201d FBI Director William Sessions declared, \u201cBased on what was known to us at the time, we have no reason to believe we could have prevented the bombing of the World Trade Center.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nonsense.<\/p>\n

After the bombing, the FBI quickly rehired Salem and promised him $1 million to develop evidence of additional terrorist plots. Salem didn\u2019t trust the feds to pay so he secretly recorded his conversations with FBI agents.<\/p>\n

In August 1993, as the case was heading for trial, news leaked that Salem had made tapes of more than 100 hours of his conversations with FBI agents and handlers. Those tapes portrayed the FBI as co-conspirator with the terrorist plotters.<\/p>\n

In a call to an FBI agent shortly after the bombing<\/a>, Salem complained, \u201cWe was start already building the bomb . . . by supervising, supervision from the bureau [FBI] and the DA [district attorney], and we was all informed about it. And we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant.<\/strong> What a wonderful great case. And then\u201d the FBI supervisor \u201cput his head in the sand and said, \u2018Oh no, no, that\u2019s not true, he is a son of a bitch.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In another taped call<\/a>, Salem anguished to one FBI agent, \u201cYou were informed. Everything is ready. The day and the time. Boom. Lock them up and that\u2019s that. That\u2019s why I feel so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

On another<\/a>, Salem asked an FBI agent, \u201cDo you deny your supervisor is the main reason of bombing the World Trade Center?\u201d The agent did not deny Salem\u2019s charge. FBI agent Nancy Floyd confided to Salem that her supervisors had botched the case: \u201cI felt that the people on the squad, that they didn\u2019t have a clue. . . . That the supervisors didn\u2019t know what was going on. That they hadn\u2019t taken the time to learn the history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the bombing, Salem offered to substitute harmless powder for the deadly explosives, thereby preventing any catastrophe. The FBI spurned his offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salem griped to one FBI agent that an FBI supervisor \u201crequested to make me to testify [in public] and if he didn\u2019t push for that, we\u2019ll be going building the bomb with a phony powder and grabbing the people who was involved in it. But . . . we didn\u2019t do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The feds considered Salem credible enough to pay him that $1 million for his 1995 testimony to convict Muslim conspirators before they carried out further attacks on New York City landmarks.<\/p>\n

In 1997, FBI Director Louis Freeh promised Congress that he would \u201cdouble the \u2018shoe leather\u2019\u201d for counterterrorism investigations. But walking was no substitute for thinking. Before the 9\/11 attacks, the FBI again dismally failed to connect the dots of terrorist plotters inside America.<\/strong>An FBI agent groused in 2002 that the bureau\u2019s ethos was that \u201creal men don\u2019t type. The only thing a real agent needs is a notebook, a pen and gun, and with those three things you can conquer the world. . . . The computer revolution just passed us by.\u201d<\/p>\n

The FBI\u2019s gross negligence \u201ccontributed to the United States becoming, in effect, a sanctuary for radical terrorists,\u201d a 2002 congressional investigation found.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 1993 World Trade Center bombing is a reminder that Americans are unlikely to hear about FBI fiascos until long after the damage is done, if ever.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neither Congress nor federal courts have put the FBI on a leash, and the media continue kowtowing to G-men who serve up juicy leaks.<\/strong><\/p>\n
