Ramzi Yousef World Trade Center bombing

Well this can’t be good. Ramzi Ahmed Yousef was born June 20, 1967 to a Pakistani Father and Palistinian mother. He graduated with an electrical engineering degree from West Glamorgan Institute in Wales in 1989. He was raised to hate Israel and America. If you’re really that interested in him, look him up here:

Fell in with the wrong crowd
Yousef, in addition to going to Oxford college of further education to improve his English, also went to Al Queida training camp, and became an expert bomb maker.

BOOM! February 26, 1993, a stolen rental truck pulls in under the north tower of the World Trade Center, then its occupants get out, climb in another car, and drive out. The truck then detonated, killing six people and injuring thousands more.

Where’s the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!
Yousef’s plan was to topple the north tower on top of the south tower, killing tens of thousands of people. There was also supposed to be a cloud of cyanide gas, which thankfully burned up in the explosion. He was quoted saying on a phone message to New York after the fact “…Next time we will be more precise.”

Run away! Yousef was on the run for two years after that, reaching the FBI’s top ten wanted fugitives list. There was a reward of $2 million for any information for his arrest.
7
Missed me, missed…dang…
In January 1995, Yousef was creating a bomb in a Manila apartment when he started a fire. He left behind a computer, which led to his arrest a month later. February 7, 1995 Yousef was finally arrested in an Islamabad hotel room

Well you can’t say he didn’t deserve it.
Yousef was sentenced to life in prison on January 28, 1998. He currently resides in a federal “supermax” prison in Florence, Colerado.
