Blind Sheik Was Mastermind Behind 1993 World Trade Center Attack (Blast from the past. 12/14/2006)
The sudden, and apparently life-threatening, illness of Omar Abdel-Rahman, the so-called blind sheik, who is serving a life sentence in federal prison, has sparked fears that that his followers might launch terror attacks against the United States should he die in custody. The sheik was rushed to a prison infirmary last week after spitting up blood and is reportedly in grave condition. The terror alert was sparked, not by specific information about a plot, but because the sheik has told his followers to seek revenge if he should die while in American hands.
