Dossier of extracts from FBI files on Charles J Bishop, the 15 year old boy who in January 2002 stole a small plane and crashed it into the Bank of America building in Tampa, Florida.
The bombing of the World Trade Center (WTC) in February 1993 was a landmark act of terrorism. At least officially, it was the first major strike in the US by radical Islamic militants and as such pre-empted the attacks of 9/11. The perpetrators were a group of men based out of the Al-Kifah refugee center in the Al Farooq mosque in Brooklyn, New York. This was the local branch of the Maktab al-Khidamat or Mujahideen Services Office that funnelled money and people to Afghanistan during the war with the Soviets.
The bombing resulted in several trials ? US vs Salameh et al in 1994, US vs Rahman et al in 1995, and US vs Yousef et al in 1997. The first trial prosecuted several of those in New York who had assisted in building and delivering the bomb. The second trial prosecuted the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and some of his followers for a ?seditious conspiracy? that included the WTC bombing, the ?Day of Terror? plot and several solicitations to murder Hosni Mubarek. The third trial prosecuted Ramzi Yousef, the man primarily responsible for choosing the target and building the bomb.
Nonetheless, the case is still subject to a swirl of conspiracy theories, mostly revolving around the FBI informant Emad Salem, who infiltrated the group at the Al-Kifah both before and after the bombing. The idea that Salem built the bomb is misleading, as he was actually sacked by the FBI in the summer of 1992 and wasn?t involved with the Al-Kifah group from then until after the bombing.
The more substantive theories are based on the issue of the Bind Sheikh being some kind of CIA asset, the legends created around Ramzi Yousef and also the possible involvement of triple agent Ali Mohamed. The forensic science investigation of the bombing was also particularly bad. This document collection includes files that shed light on these questions and provide a basis for establishing a more subtle view of exactly who was responsible for the bombing and why they did what they did.

The intent of U.S. UW efforts is to exploit a hostile power’s political, military, economic, and psychological vulnerabilities by developing and sustaining resistance forces to accomplish U.S. strategic objectives. Historically, the military concept for the employment of UW was primarily in support of resistance movements during general-war scenarios. While this concept remains valid, the operational environment since the end of World War II has increasingly required U.S. forces to conduct UW in scenarios short of general war (limited war).
Crash Course on Offshore Wind Energy – Gdańsk (26.10.2012) – Meteorology by A...Pomcert
The presentation „Offshore wind power meteorology” by Alfredo Peña is a result of many years of investigation on offshore wind power at DTU Wind Energy (formerly Risø).
It was given during 'Crash Course on Offshore Wind Energy' which was held on 26 October 2012 in Gdańsk. The event was organized by two partners of the SB OFF.E.R (South Baltic Offshore Wind Energy Regions) Project part-financed by the EU (European Regional Development Fund): POMCERT from Poland and DTU Wind Energy from Denmark.
All presentations given during this event are:
Introduction to offshore wind energy in Poland, Andrzej Tonderski, POMCERT
Offshore wind power meteorology, Alfredo Peña, DTU Wind Energy
Technology status, outlook and economics, Peggy Friis, DTU Wind Energy
