"In 1991, the Sheik came to America on that B-2 visa. He strolled right through Customs, at JFK, unscathed. (Again, this happened at a time when he was on the State Department's Terrorist Watch List.) He was then chauffeured to a mosque in New Jersey, and began writing sermons for delivery in mosques in New Jersey and Brooklyn. Within a few days, the mosque applied for a Green Card for the Sheik, as a "Minister of Religion."

Sheik Omar's sermons were diatribes, replete with fiery references to "Satan America" and "The American Whore." Americans were "infidels," and Allah had decreed that all infidels should be put to death unless they converted to Islam. Omar was plying his craft well. He was stirring up an Islamic jihad -- a holy war -- against America.

While Omar was inciting his followers to terrorize Americans, a young engineer named Ehmad Salem, was welcomed into the Sheik's inner circle. Unbeknownst to Omar, Salem was an informant for the FBI. Salem reported to his handlers that there were several "cells" of mujahideen, who were ready to blow up landmarks in and around New York City. Among the known targets were the Holland Tunnel, the Statue of Liberty, the New York Stock Exchange, and the World Trade Center. In December 1992, shortly after Sheik Omar's Green Card was approved, Salem warned the FBI that one of the terrorist cells was going to attack one of the chosen targets in early 1993.

On February 26, 1993, a bomb exploded in the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center. Despite having been forewarned, the FBI apparently couldn't prevent the attack. Sheik Omar was convicted of seditious conspiracy in 1995, and sentenced to life in prison. (Maybe the Sheik was just destined to become a permanent U.S. resident one way or the other.)

That's rich. The FBIncompetent in charge refused to let the snitch substitute an inert ingredient in all the bomb making chemicals the informant was providing for the terrs. They then f&^%ed around and let the van get away from them on the day of the bombing, knowing full well that te WTC was the target. Every damn one of them involved with that "sting" should be in prison.
