The first World Trade Center Attack in 1993 and the Boston Marathon Attack in 2013 are two significant attacks that share some similarities and difference.

The van had to be parked a certain way so that when the bomb would explode then it would knock down the first building making it tip over and

They were hoping to level the north tower and have it collapse into the south tower with the hope of killing everyone inside. When Yousef was captured and sentenced he was noted as saying that they hope to kill upward of 250,000 Americans.

trade center bombing. Some background of the event is that 6 were killed and more than 1,000 were injured.

When the officers confronted him, they asked him to put his hands in the air, but

The world trade center bombing of 1993, was a terrorist act orchestrated by Ramzi Youseff, (b. Abdul Basit Mahmoud Abdul Karim) a Kuwaiti national with ties to Iraq, Pakistan but considers himself a Palestinian. He spent time in the training camps of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan where he mastered his skills in explosives; he has traveled the world as a Jihadist performing terrorist acts. The Players Yusuf became a ranking member of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda who sought out the destruction

Ramzi Yousef found no satisfaction in his successful assault on the WTC, he wanted to send the message early on that he could reach his reign of terror to as Far East as the United States and its allies reached. Unfortunately, next on his hit list was Manila, plotting another airline disaster, and by doing so, Ramzi Yousef was no longer a local terrorist, but acquired the status of an international terrorist. To exacerbate matters, Ramzi Yousef was captured and arrested
