From the Paper:

"On February 26, 1993, a bomb planted into the parking garage of the World Trade Center shattered the foundation of the towers, killing five people and injuring 1,042 others (Wallace, 1993, p. 42). The specter of terrorism was resurrected eight years later with the irreversible destruction of the twin towers on September 11 this year. Both terrorist attacks are the work of Islamic fundamentalists who were resentful of U.S. ascendancy and its role in the Middle East.

The purpose of this paper is to delve into the U.S. federal response against the terrorists in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The investigation of the crime, the prosecution of the defendants and the results of the trial will be discussed. In addition, the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center will also be considered in the light of the September 11 attack."
