Today marks the 32nd year anniversary of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which was carried out by followers of The Blind Skeikh. The convicted bomb-maker, Ramzi Yousef, entered the United States in 1992 with alleged Mossad mole Ahmed Ajaj, who was arrested at JFK Airport. Ajaj was carrying multiple passports, videos of suicide bombings, documents on fabricating fake IDs, and plans for constructing bombs. From prison, Ajaj played a major role in facilitating the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing.
Robert I Friedman reported in The Village Voice that Ajaj was a possible Mossad mole according to Israeli intelligence sources. Ajaj was identified by the FBI as a senior intifada activist and according to federal sources and the Israeli police, Israel expelled Ajaj in 1991 to Jordan for conspiring to smuggle weapons to Palestinian militant groups. However, according to an Israeli newspaper, Ajaj was never involved in intifada activities or with militant groups. Instead, Ajaj was a small-time criminal who was arrested in 1988 for counterfeiting U.S. dollars and was convicted and sentenced to prison. During his prison stay, the Mossad apparently recruited him per Israeli intelligence sources. Friedman wrote, “By the time he was released after having served just one year, he had seemingly undergone a radical transformation. The common crook had become a devout Muslim and hard-line nationalist. Soon after, he was arrested for smuggling weapons into the West Bank, allegedly for El Fatah.”
According to Friedman, Israeli intelligence sources asserted that the arrest for weapons smuggling, and Ajaj’s torture and deportation, “were staged by Mossad to establish his credentials as an intifada activist.” Also, the Mossad allegedly “tasked” Ajaj to infiltrate militant Palestinian groups operating outside Israel and to report back to Israel and that it is common for the Mossad to recruit common criminals.
Friedman wrote, “If Ajaj was recruited by Mossad, it is not known whether he continued to work for the Israeli spy agency after he was deported. One possibility, of course, is that upon leaving Israel and meeting radical Muslims close to the blind Egyptian sheikh, his loyalties shifted. Another scenario is that he had advance knowledge of the World Trade Center bombing, which he shared with Mossad, and that Mossad, for whatever reason, kept the secret to itself. If true, U.S. intelligence sources speculate that Mossad might have decided to keep the information closely guarded so as not to compromise its undercover agent.”
