We have the main one of them in custody from the 93 WTC bombing if I remember correctly. I believe his name is Ramzi Yousef. Not sure.

In May 1994, four men - Mohammed Salameh, Nidal Ayyad, Mahmud Abouhalima and Ahmad Ajaj - were sentenced to life for bombing the World Trade Center, which killed six people and injured 100.
In October 1995 Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, a blind cleric who preached at mosques in Brooklyn and Jersey City, was sentenced to life for masterminding the bombing,.

He was also found guilty of the murder of extremist Rabbi Meir Kahane and a scheme to assassinate Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak during a trip to New York in 1993.

The bombing of the World Trade Center has been totally eclipsed by the events of 11 September 2001 which saw thousands killed, the collapse of both Twin Towers and an all-out "war on terror" declared by the Western world.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was captured in Pakistan in 2003. Remember his mugshot? His hair was a disaster(the raid happened in the middle of the night).

Yeah, but do WE have him now? I thought there was some question about whether or not he was still in custody.

If so, cool!
