ONE OF FBI MOST - WANTED TERRORISTS SAYS JEWISH
AREAS WERE THE ORIGINAL TARGET OF 1993 WTC
BOMBERS
Fri May 31 2002 15:51:47 ET
One of the FBI�s most-wanted terrorists says that Brooklyn�s Jewish
neighborhoods were the original targets of the men convicted of
bombing the World Trade Center in 1993. Abdul Rahman Yasin, in
his first interview, says fellow bombers Ramzi Yousef and
Mohammed Salameh decided instead to attack New York�s Twin
Towers because they believed most of its occupants were Jewish.
Yasin, who was indicted in the bombing but escaped, was
interviewed by Lesley Stahl in an Iraqi installation near Baghdad last
Thursday (23). Her report will be broadcast on 60 MINUTES
Sunday, June 2 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television
Network.
�[Yousef] told me, �I want to blow up Jewish neighborhoods
in Brooklyn,�� Yasin tells Stahl. But after scouting Crown Heights
and Williamsburg, Yasin says Yousef had a better idea. �Ramzi
Yousef told us to go to the World trade Center� �I have an idea we
should do one big explosion rather than do small ones in Jewish
neighborhoods,�� Yasin says the terrorist said.
They figured the World Trade Center would serve as a more
efficient target. �The majority of people who work in the World
Trade Center are Jews,� says Yasin.
Yasin, 40, says he is sorry for what he did and that the
bombers, who he says he met for the first time while living in a
Jersey City apartment building, talked him into it. �[Yousef and
Salameh] used to tell me how Arabs suffered a great deal and that
we have to send a message that this is not right�to revenge for my
Palestinian brothers and my brothers in Saudi Arabia,� Yasin tells
Stahl. He adds that they also prodded him about being an Iraqi who
should avenge the defeat of Iraq in the Gulf War. Yasin confirms
that Yousef was the maker of the bomb used in the attack and that
Yousef learned the process in a terrorist camp in Peshawar,
Pakistan, before entering the U.S. �I knew that after �working with
them.�
60 MINUTES has independently confirmed that the man
interviewed is, indeed, Yasin, whose picture is on the FBI Web site
along with Osama bin Laden, one of President Bush�s 22 most-
wanted terrorists. The FBI is offering a $25 million reward for
information leading to Yasin�s arrest.
