6/15/1993

“In June 1993, a group of terrorists consisting of Egyptians, Sudanese, a Jordanian, and a Puerto Rican were apprehended by the FBI in an aborted plot directed at a number of New York City landmarks and various political figures. The terrorists had targeted the United Nations, a New York federal building, the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak during his 1993 visit to New York, and at least two U.S. political figures. The conspirators were subsequently convicted and sentenced for their criminal activities.” [The 15th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
