11/5/1990

After Egyptian Islamist El Sayyid Nosair was arrested for the assassination of Rabbi Meier Kahane of the right-wing Jewish Defense League on November 5, 1990, 47 boxes of evidence were removed from his home. These boxes “included the recorded sermons of [future World Trade Center bombing conspirator] blind sheikh Omar [Abdel Rahman], in which he exhorted his followers to ‘destroy the edifices of capitalism.’ Entries in one notebook, which Nosair apparently copied from another such sermon, called for the ‘destruction of the enemies of Allah,’ by ‘destroying their…high world buildings.’ ”
