Another sign that these people "are not all there," the Sears Tower (Towers?) in Chicago are the tallest buildings in the United States.

Bloody savages!!

Islam is not a religion,
It is a ideology based on world domination masquerading as a religion.
No other religion requires total submission or death.
Islam does.!

ISLAM IS TERRORISM BY IT'S VERY NATURE

Shout it from the roof tops folks !!!

"...the Palestinian opened fire on the observation deck of Empire State Building, killing a tourist and injuring six other people before committing suicide."

..."her mom burned the diary, fearing that it would cause the family trouble."



In 1997? this is just one more instance of The Clinton crime family covering up for their buddy Arafat. Talk about an inconvenient truth...

There is no terrorism in the US. My President told me so.

Gunman shoots 7, kills self at Empire State Building

Here's CNN's original story on the matter. They should have known the "business imploded" line was a load of baloney. The article states he was asking some of the folks if they were from Egypt, trying to separate any Arabs from his rampage.

This incident happened while I was in Korea, I didn't remember ever hearing about it when I was over there.

Sears Tower. There's only one building.

I found this interesting:

But three days after the shootings, Kamal's family got a copy of a letter that was found on his body, they said. The letter said he planned the violence as a political statement, his daughter said.

So nobody in law enforcement opened the letter and read it? Or they opened it and didn't believe it? Or they opened it and lied about its contents (Oh no!). Or what?

And for whom does the doting daughter work?

said Linda, who works for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

Our good friends at the United Nations!

This is what the New York Times had to say about this incident back in 1997:

The media DID report it as Sudden Jihad Syndrome back in 1997. Maybe the daughter didn't read that issue.

Prettier than the WTC, but still rather homely (opinion):

On a related thread it was pointed out that the NYT had published the letter found in the killer's pocket on February 27, 1997. Her claims of failing to get media attention are false (unless she means local media in Gaza and Palestine), since one of the biggest papers in the US published the letter in the town the incident happened in, on Page 1. The article below references the letter, and another article had the letter in full.

The gunman who opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building on Sunday said in a letter found on his body that he planned his attack as revenge for the treatment of Palestinians by the United States, Israel and other countries.

"The Zionists are the paw that carried out their savage aggression," wrote Ali Abu Kamal, the 69-year-old English teacher from Gaza who shot seven people before killing himself Sunday afternoon. "My restless aspiration is to murder as many of them as possible, and I have decided to strike at their own den in New York, and at the very Empire State Building in particular."

Law enforcement officials said they have found no evidence to support the contention of Mr. Abu Kamal's family that he was distressed at having been swindled out of hundreds or thousands of dollars of his life's savings, and the officials said they doubted the money ever existed. They also said they had found no indication that Mr. Abu Kamal acted in concert with a terrorist group or any accomplices.

Whoah! You beat me to it!

Perhaps she meant local media, as opposed to world media?

Gotta wonder why this is coming out now.
