[Omar Abdel Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh"] is major hero in the Arab world for his terrorist acts against the US and he has never shown one bit of remorse for the crimes he has committed. In fact, he is open about the fact that if he ever gets out of prison, he will work even harder at his terror activities. This guy is far worse than the Libyan Pan Am bomber that was released from jail in Scotland. Far worse, too, in what he tried to do. If his bomb had been successful in toppling WTC1 into WTC2, he'd have killed something like 40,000-50,000 people in one afternoon.
"if the bomb truck was parked at the right place, the North Tower would fall onto the South Tower, collapsing them both. . . . had the van been parked closer to the WTC's poured concrete foundations, Yousef's plan might have succeeded" (from an Internet source)
Just a couple of days ago I heard on radio that the reason that the van could not be placed closer to the concrete foundations was that there were a bunch of government (Secret Service?) cars parked in the way.
