Operation AXIOM: The 30th Anniversary of the World Trade Center Bombing
26 February 1993: A rental van packet with explosives, parked beneath the North Tower of the World Trade Center, was detonated; seven persons were killed in the explosion & more than a thousand wounded; the bombing did not cause the North Tower to collapse into the South Tower, as the jihadist bombers had hoped; mastermind Ramzi Yousef was captured in 1995 & convicted in 1996.

Commentary: If the bombing had succeeded as the jihadists had planned & one tower had collapsed into the other, it would have been a worse mass-casualty attack than 9/11, because there would not have been any time to evacuate either tower.

Lest we forget.
