13th anniversary of first terror attack on WTC
It was 13 years ago today that terrorists parked a truck in the garage under the World Trade Center, setting off an explosion that killed six people and injured 1,000.
NY1 notes that while Sheik Abdel Rahman is serving a life sentence for that attack, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is appealing a civil-trial decision made this past October that holds the agency financially liable for the attack because of its lax security at the towers.
Plans for the World Trade Center memorial call for tribute to the victims of the 1993 attack as well as the Sept. 11, 2001 attack-by-planes that leveled both towers and the adjacent WTC 7 skyscraper.
