It seems fairly well established that Al-Qaeda bombed the World Trade Center in 1993.

The headline to this issue refers to the testimony and tape recordings of FBI informant, Emad Salem, who stated that the FBI were aware of the bomb being made and could possibly have prevented it from being made. It does not seem clear that the FBI knew what the target of the bombing would be either.

So in my view the headline is misleading and sensationalist and unhelpfully opens up a world of conspiracy theories.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye on that side of it all. If the conspiracy stuff becomes more prominent than the reporting on local struggles in later issues, a rethink wil be necessary!
