Summary

Analyzes the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center which the author claims was intended to bring down the twin towers and argues that the Iraqi government was key in the planning and implementation of the attack and that the failure of the U.S. to thoroughly investigate the incident left the country vulnerable to future terrorist plots.
