NEW BOMBING INDICTMENT INCLUDES NATIVE OF IRAQ
A sixth name was added Wednesday to the list of suspects in the bombing of the World Trade Center as a new indictment was made public.
The new suspect, Iraqi-born Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, has not been arrested but was included in the superseding indictment that now also includes Mahmud Abohalima, the accused organizer of the Feb. 26 bombing.
Previously indicted were Nidal Ayyad of Maplewood, N.J., and Mohammed A. Salameh of Jersey City, N.J., both 25.
In the new indictment handed up Wednesday, the four men are charged with using explosives to maliciously damage and destroy the World Trade Center, resulting in the death of six people.
A fifth man, Bilal Alkaisi, 26, has been charged with aiding and abetting the bombing but has not been indicted.
A sixth suspect, 42-year-old Ibrahim Elgabronwy, is being held without bail but is charged only with obstructing justice after a fight with two FBI agents executing a search warrant.
In a statement, prosecutors said a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Yousef, 25, who once lived at the same Jersey City residence as Salameh.
Authorities refused to provide any information about Yousef, except that he was born in Iraq and that the search was international in scope.
Salameh lived with a group of about seven fellow Muslims in two spartan apartments in Jersey City.
Salameh, Ayyad, Abohalima and Alkaisi, all from the Middle East, are being held without bail. Abohalima's attorney, Jesse Berman, said he had never before heard the name of the latest suspect.
The lunchtime blast at the world's second-tallest buildings killed six people, injured more than 1,000 and inflicted $500 million in damages.
