44-E, Rediculous (spoilers)
Why would the invoice for the trucking company have the note "44-E" as a memo, which turns out to be East 44th street in NY where the bomb is going to be detonated. What an implausible connection.
shareNot necesarily. First off, terrorists don't always communicate their plans by phone or email. They also aren't exactly brain surgeons. Case in point, Mohammad Salameh, the terrorist who rented the Ryder truck that was loaded with a bomb & then blown up in the WTC parking lot back in 1993, reported the truck stolen right after he blew it up & then went back to the Ryder office to get his deposit back. Didn't take the authorities long to fig out who did it.
shareAs usual, there is far more to that attack than we are let on.
[Attorneys for those convicted have maintained that the government's case is circumstantial at best, with no evidence or motive linking the accused with the bombing. The FBI and federal prosecutors have not as yet responded to questions over the lack of warning of the attack on the Twin Towers, despite the strategic placement of their informant.
Two possible scenarios emerge. One: Salem is a rogue FBI informant who created the conspiracy to bomb the World Trade Center for the money his information about the plot (minus his role) would bring. An attorney for one of the convicted men told the SHADOW that Salem was an FBI informant from November of 1991 to the summer of 1992. The attorney says that the FBI became aware of the World Trade Center bombing plot through informant Salem during this period, but they refused to believe his information or pay Salem's exorbitant fees. In fact, the feds claimed that they dropped Salem as an informant during the summer of 1992 after he refused or failed a lie detector test. This left Salem with a bombing plot but no one to sell it to.
According to the attorney, Salem let the plot that he hatched go forward and the World Trade Center was bombed so that he could get money and publicity. The attorney says that within 48 hours of the bombing, the FBI requested Salem to help them solve the case. Salem quickly pointed the fingers at the defendants, all followers of Sheik Rahman.
So, who did it? From the above point of view, Salem constructed the bomb plot with those whom he subsequently set up. The U.S. government and its FBI were innocent bystanders who failed to prevent the carnage due to their unwillingness to take Salem's claims seriously, despite his close collaboration with Bureau agents for the better part of a year.]
