The most under-reported story regarding terrorism in our time: an FBI informant on tape tells his FBI handler how he, as an informant buried inside Ramzi Yousef's terror cell on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing -- indeed, the informer/FBI asset, Emad A. Salem, a former Egyptian intelligence agent, was bodyguard to the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman -- was involved in the building of the bomb, and is upset he was pulled out before he could make the bomb non-explosive, as part of a sting of the terrorists.
Then Judge Michael Mukasey (later GWB attorney general) tried to keep the tapes secret, but some were linked to the
New York Times.
Too crazy to be believed? Then read these
NY Times articles from 1993:
Tapes in Bombing Plot Show Informer and F.B.I. at Odds (10/27/93)
Tapes Depict Proposal to Thwart Bomb Used in Trade Center Blast (10/28/93)
