Phoenix Journal 208 - Four Winds 10

Anthrax or Sarin gas, or a World Trade Center-style bomb “dirtied” with enough nuclear material to make
parts of the city uninhabitable is almost inevitable, a 1996 Senate report warned.
Defense Secretary William Cohen said much the same at a conference on terrorism last month. “This
scenario of a nuclear, biological or chemical weapon in the hands of a terrorist cell or rogue nation is not
only plausible, it’s really quite real,” he warned. The United States already has seen such work; the 1993
World Trade Center bombing that killed six and injured 1,000. The group included Islamic radicals from
Palestine, Sadan [sic] and Egypt as well as U.S. converts. The same group had planned to bomb other
New York City landmarks. The alleged bomb-builder, the mysterious Ramzi Yousef, plotted to blow up a
dozen U.S. airliners in a single day and practiced in the Philippines with a nitroglycerin charge that killed an
airline passenger. In Saudi Arabia, the FBI is still trying to unravel the possible alliance of Iran, Shiite
militant Sunni radicals and the world’s leading financier of terror, Osama bin Lader, in two bombings that
killed 24 U.S. solders and two Indians.
Here in the United States, authorities fret about “sleeper cells” of Hezbollah terrorists awaiting orders from
Tehran, or zealots acting on the influence of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric and
religious leader to World Trade Center conspirators. Rahman still exhorts followers now from a federal
prison.
U.S.-based Hamas activists arrested in Israel told their interrogators they had shadowed prominent Jews
in the Chicago area. Such terrorists “are expanding their networks, improving their skills and sophistication,
and working to stage more spectacular attacks,” warns acting CIA Director George Tenet.
To stage attacks in the United States and elsewhere, Islamic extremists are making full use of U.S. banks,
telecommunications and freedom of assembly.
In January 1995, President Clinton froze $800,000 held in accounts the government said were controlled
by terrorist groups. Most experts believe that is only a drop in the bucket.
