Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Trade Center was both a great engineering feat and a potent symbol. This analysis asserts that it was also a security hazard for almost all of its existence. The author, until recently a detective sergeant and antiterrorist officer at the World Trade Center with experience in airport security, voices harsh criticisms of the security lapses that allowed the 1993 bombing to take place, a precursor and unheeded warning of the 2001 disaster. Completed before this cataclysmic event, this book gives an insider's perspective of Port Authority attitudes and on the mismanagement of security functions at the World Trade Center. It claims that officials did not give serious attention to the resentment of the United States' policy in the Middle East, nor to the mindset of Islamic fundamentalists, or even to expressed threats from dedicated terrorists. The author himself, of Arab-American descent, paints an indignant but well-informed picture of the situation prior to the attack in 1993.

Book excerpt: "AN IMPORTANT BOOK...[THAT] TELLS US WHY ATTENTION MUST BE PAID." --New York Newsday At 12:17 p.m. on February 26, 1993, a 1,500 pound bomb tore into the underbelly of New York City's World Trade Center. Six people were killed, numerous others injured, the city's economy traumatized. The blast took just two seconds, but in that instant America's sense of security was destroyed forever. Now, for the first time ever, here is the complete, authoritative, inside story of the conspiracy and its origins, the bombing and its aftermath.

In 1993, terrorists drove a van filled with explosives into the Trade Center's underground parking garage. In the blast that followed, six people were killed and many more were injured. In The Terrorist Trial of the 1993 Bombing of the World Trade Center: A Headline Court Case, author Michael J. Pellowski describes this horrific event, the worldwide manhunt for the killers, and the controversial trial of the terrorists, including mastermind Ramzi Yousef. He explains the complicated legal, historical, and political issues involved in these events, and he sheds light on the even more destructive events to come. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An extraordinary story, never before told: The intimate, behind-the-scenes life of an American boy raised by his terrorist father—the man who planned the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. What is it like to grow up with a terrorist in your home? Zak Ebrahim was only seven years old when, on November 5th, 1990, his father El-Sayyid Nosair shot and killed the leader of the Jewish Defense League. While in prison, Nosair helped plan the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. In one of his infamous video messages, Osama bin Laden urged the world to “Remember El-Sayyid Nosair.” For Zak Ebrahim, a childhood amongst terrorism was all he knew. After his father’s incarceration, his family moved often, and as the perpetual new kid in class, he faced constant teasing and exclusion. Yet, though his radicalized father and uncles modeled fanatical beliefs, to Ebrahim something never felt right. To the shy, awkward boy, something about the hateful feelings just felt unnatural. In this book, Ebrahim dispels the myth that terrorism is a foregone conclusion for people trained to hate. Based on his own remarkable journey, he shows that hate is always a choice—but so is tolerance. Though Ebrahim was subjected to a violent, intolerant ideology throughout his childhood, he did not become radicalized. Ebrahim argues that people conditioned to be terrorists are actually well positioned to combat terrorism, because of their ability to bring seemingly incompatible ideologies together in conversation and advocate in the fight for peace. Ebrahim argues that everyone, regardless of their upbringing or circumstances, can learn to tap into their inherent empathy and embrace tolerance over hatred. His original, urgent message is fresh, groundbreaking, and essential to the current discussion about terrorism.

This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are a type of unconventional explosive weapon that can be deployed in a variety of ways, and can cause loss of life, injury, and property damage in both military and civilian environments. Terrorists, violent extremists, and criminals often choose IEDs because the ingredients, components, and instructions required to make IEDs are highly accessible. In many cases, precursor chemicals enable this criminal use of IEDs because they are used in the manufacture of homemade explosives (HMEs), which are often used as a component of IEDs. Many precursor chemicals are frequently used in industrial manufacturing and may be available as commercial products for personal use. Guides for making HMEs and instructions for constructing IEDs are widely available and can be easily found on the internet. Other countries restrict access to precursor chemicals in an effort to reduce the opportunity for HMEs to be used in IEDs. Although IED attacks have been less frequent in the United States than in other countries, IEDs remain a persistent domestic threat. Restricting access to precursor chemicals might contribute to reducing the threat of IED attacks and in turn prevent potentially devastating bombings, save lives, and reduce financial impacts. Reducing the Threat of Improvised Explosive Device Attacks by Restricting Access to Explosive Precursor Chemicals prioritizes precursor chemicals that can be used to make HMEs and analyzes the movement of those chemicals through United States commercial supply chains and identifies potential vulnerabilities. This report examines current United States and international regulation of the chemicals, and compares the economic, security, and other tradeoffs among potential control strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can the United States avoid a future surprise attack on the scale of 9/11 or Pearl Harbor, in an era when such devastating attacks can come not only from nation states, but also from terrorist groups or cyber enemies? Intelligence and Surprise Attack examines why surprise attacks often succeed even though, in most cases, warnings had been available beforehand. Erik J. Dahl challenges the conventional wisdom about intelligence failure, which holds that attacks succeed because important warnings get lost amid noise or because intelligence officials lack the imagination and collaboration to “connect the dots” of available information. Comparing cases of intelligence failure with intelligence success, Dahl finds that the key to success is not more imagination or better analysis, but better acquisition of precise, tactical-level intelligence combined with the presence of decision makers who are willing to listen to and act on the warnings they receive from their intelligence staff. The book offers a new understanding of classic cases of conventional and terrorist attacks such as Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and the bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The book also presents a comprehensive analysis of the intelligence picture before the 9/11 attacks, making use of new information available since the publication of the 9/11 Commission Report and challenging some of that report’s findings.
