The World Trade Center bombing occurred on February 26, 1993, when a truck bomb was detonated below the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York, NY. The 1,336 lb (606 kg) urea nitrate--hydrogen gas enhanced device was intended to knock the North Tower (Tower One) into the South Tower (Tower Two), bringing both towers down and killing tens of thousands of people. It failed to do so, but did kill six people and injured more than a thousand. The attack was planned by a group of Muslim terrorists including Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal A. Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin and Ahmad Ajaj. They received financing from Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, Yousef's uncle. In March 1994, four men were convicted of carrying out the bombing: Abouhalima, Ajaj, Ayyad and Salameh. The charges included conspiracy, explosive destruction of property and interstate transportation of explosives. In November 1997, two more were convicted: Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the bombings, and Eyad Ismoil, who drove the truck carrying the bomb.

21 years ago today. We will never forgot on that fateful Friday morning on 2/26/93. RIP to the 6 lives that were lost on that day. Also today is the 2nd Anniversary of the tragic death of Trayvon Martin 2 years ago on that fateful Sunday evening on 2/26/12 (occurred on the 19th Anniversary of the 1993 WTC Bombing). 2 days later on Sunday morning on 2/28/93 ATF agents went on a search warrant and raid at Mount Carmel Center church led by Pastor David Koresh and his Branch Davidians Christian Sect in Waco, TX in regards of unregistered firearms which led to a standoff from 2/28/93 (Sunday) to 4/19/93 (Monday) as what the scene known as Waco Siege

Unfortunately, 9/11 completely overshadowed those events!
