Opening narrative: 1 February 1993. A massive explosion ripping through the lower basement sections of the World Trade Center under tower number two. A terrorist bomb, how horrific a crime this is. August 1998. Our embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam were bombed. The Bin Laden terrorist network was responsible. Suicide bombers blew a hole in the ship. My prayers are with the families of those killed... at the explosion involving the U.S. naval vessel Cole. Hidden in the mountains of Afghanistan, Bin Laden planned these attacks. September 9th, 2001. Ahmad Shah Massoud, the leader of the Northern Alliance, was assassinated by two members of Al-Qaeda. Massoud's death destabilized the Northern Alliance, removing the only threat to the Taliban's power in Afghanistan.
