Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today.
“As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons,” Holder told reporters.
Al-Qaeda Tried To Destroy WTC With Help Of FBI?
Ramzi Yousef and Eyad Ismoli parked their red van in an underground garage of the World Trade Centre North Tower on February 26, 1993. They stepped outside, gazed at each other, lit a 60-metre fuse and walked away.
Twenty minutes later, at 12:17 hours, the bomb made a 30 mete hole through four underground concrete stories, killing six and injuring 1,042 people.
Smoke of the explosion went up the stairs all the way to the 93 rd floor, but the Twins were left standing, probably to Yousef and Eyad`s disappointment.
Their plan was based on the idea that the North Tower would collapse towards the South and on its way down, it would hit the South Tower. Yousef would have been in Pakistan several hours later, and if he had parked their van, carrying 600 kilos of explosives, a bit closer to the foundations of the building, i.e. several stories lower, their plan might have worked.
An investigation showed that a group trained in Al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan was involved in the attack. It is believed that the mastermind behind the bomb attack was Yousef`s uncle Khalid Shaikh Mohammed Ali Fadden, who became one of the prime suspects for the attach on September 11, 2001.
