Israeli intelligence had evidence that Yasser Arafat was involved in the planning of the World Trade Center bombing in New York in February of 1993. Moshe Peled, Israel's Deputy Education Minister in the Netanyahu government, declared in early 1997 that he has information connecting Arafat to the Sudanese terror network responsible for carrying out the WTC bombing. CIA representatives met in Israel with Peled to discuss his information. Similarly, E-Kihan, the official Iranian government newspaper, accused Arafat of responsibility for the first WTC bombing. The Jerusalem Post reported in March 1997 that Yonah Alexander, a Pentagon consultant on terrorism, said, "Arafat continues to maintain a training base in Sudan where the Fatah people work closely with the regime and with Iran. If there hadn't been an agreement with Israel, then Fatah would definitely have been on the U.S. list of terror organizations." The FBI later arrested two Sudanese diplomats in connection with planning the attack, in which six people were killed. Arafat pushed off his meeting with Syrian President Assad, which was scheduled for today, by a few days.

Many of us (especially those in small towns) have trouble comprehending the size of the World Trade Center. Could someone please refer us to a website that shows maps, etc, so that we can understand the news better?

Many of us (especially those in small towns) have trouble comprehending the size of the World Trade Center.

Each story of each tower is about 1 acre, if that gives you country folk an impression.

On a local talk radio show today, someone called in ...... said he had toured the WTC several years ago ..... picked up some material about the buildings. As an engineer he was fascinated by the information that there was enough concrete in the buildings to build a two-lane highway to the MOON!!!

That is totally beyond my comprehension ..... but he insisted that he had the pamphlet. And said that was just the concrete ..... not counting all the steel and glass and other materials.
