Until after this last crisis, I had no trouble finding Internet articles citing Yousef's claim to TWA-800. Then they seem to all have disappeared. Do you have any record / copies of original journalism on that?

I found one such reference in the early AM of 9/15, simply using Google to look for 'Ramzi Yousef', the spelling in the article Wallaby posted. It was a pretty early hit.

I wonder if it's sitting in my cache somewhere.

I rediscovered the article I was thinking of, I was using Google looking for 'Bojinka' actually. But it's not exactly the NYT, it's just somebody's Flight 800 conspiracy page.

"Against that particular history is the FBI claim that there was no evidence of a criminal act. That claim is shocking, just given the known terrorist claims to the disaster. The terrorist motivation is unquestionable, given the USS Vincennes shoot-down of the Iranian A-300. Thus, the terrorist claims cannot rationally be dismissed for any valid reason.

The terrorist claims are also clearly supported by an ambitious terrorist plot known as 'Project Bojinka.' One of the 'Bojinka' participants, Ramzi Yousef, made the TWA-800 claim. He was well known to the FBI as a reliable terrorist, later to be prosecuted for the World Trade Center bombing.

One has to question what constitutes 'evidence,' if Ramzi Yousef is to be disbelieved."
