than conventional high explosives. According to testimony in the bomb trial, it was only once before in a 1993
87
attack had the FBI recorded a bomb that used urea nitrate.

In the course of the trial it was revealed that the FBI had an informant, a former Egyptian army officer named
Emad Salem. Salem claims to have informed the FBI of the plot to bomb the towers as early as February 6, 1992.
Salem's role as informant allowed the FBI to quickly pinpoint the conspirators out of hundreds of possible
suspects. Salem, initially believing that this was to be a sting operation, claimed that the FBI's original plan was
for Salem to supply the conspirators with a harmless powder instead of actual explosive to build their bomb.
However, the FBI chose to use him for other purposes instead. He secretly recorded hundreds of hours of
telephone conversations with his FBI handlers. Although the FBI received the credit, Diplomatic Security
Service special agents actually found and arrested Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, who was the architect of the 1993
World Trade Center bombing.

Ramzi Yousef sent a letter to the New York Times after bombing the WTC which spelled out the motive: “We
declare our responsibility for the explosion on the mentioned building. This action was done in response for the American political,
economical, and military support to Israel, the state of terrorism, and to the rest of the dictator countries in the region.” He later
stated that he had hoped to kill 250,000 Americans to show them the exact pain they had caused to the Japanese
88
in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

According to the journalist Steve Coll, Yousef mailed letters to various New York newspapers just before the
attack, in which he claimed he belonged to “Liberation Army, Fifth Battalion.” These letters made three demands:
an end to all U.S. aid to Israel, an end to U.S. diplomatic relations with Israel, and a pledge by the United States
to end interference “with any of the Middle East countries’ interior affairs.” It is an important issue to understand that
these terrorist thought this bombing was justifiable due to U.S. support of the nation of Israel and the atomic
bombing of Japan.

He stated that the attack on the World Trade Center would be merely the first of such attacks if his demands
were not met. In his letters, Yousef admitted that the World Trade Center bombing was an act of terrorism, but
this was justified because the terrorism that Israel practices in which America supports “must be faced with a similar
one.” 89

There is another important issue to understand that most Islamic nations want to destroy or wipe off the face of
the earth, the nation of Israel. Both the U.S. and England have been supporters of the Jewish nation since WW
II. The Islamic believers are the ones who rejoice over killing Christians and Jews. They consider both religious
groups as infidels. Islam teaches the beheading of infidels. Islamic radicals believe by destroying the west, which
is the United States, will bring their promised Messiah and Mahdi. This is why the Islamic nations are developing
nuclear weapons in the Middle East for the Holy War. Prior to the Tribulation in Daniel 11, it predicts there will
be an alliance of Islamic nations in the Middle East, which made up the Old Persian Empire of the past.

Even though the plot was revealed to the FBI prior to the bombing of the towers, were there other signs prior to
this bombing? In particular, were there signs in the heavens above New York? Yes, there was a sign six days
prior to the event occurring. It was again a sign of deception. In Biblical numerology six represents man. The
question is what was the deception? We should always be aware of our surroundings when there is a partial
eclipse of the moon. It is a forewarning to the world that something bad is to happen. We have ignored these
signs and refuse to pay attention to them or disregard them all together.
