November 5, 1990: First Bin Laden-Related Terror Attack in US as Jewish Rabbi Is Assassinated
American El Sayyid Nosair assassinates controversial right-wing Zionist leader Rabbi Meir Kahane. Kahanes organization, the Jewish Defense League, was linked to dozens of bombings and is ranked by the FBI as the most lethal domestic militant group in the US at the time. Nosair is captured after a police shoot-out. [Village Voice, 3/30/1993]
Within hours, overwhelming evidence suggests that the assassination was a WIDE CONSPIRACY BUT the US government will immediately declare that Nosair was a LONE GUNMAN AND IGNORE THE EVIDENCE SUGGESTING OTHERWISE (see November 5, 1990 and After). NOSAIR will later be ACQUITTED of Kahanes murder (though he will be convicted of lesser charges) as investigators continue to ignore most of the evidence in his case which links to a wider conspiracy (see December 7, 1991). Nosair is connected to al-Qaeda through his job at the Al-Kifah Refugee Center, an al-Qaeda front (see 1986-1993). A portion of Nosairs defense fund will be paid for by bin Laden, although this will not be discovered until some time later. [ABC News, 8/16/2002; Lance, 2003, pp. 34-37]
The Blind Sheik comes to the US in July and within 4 months of his arrival Rabbi Kahane is dead!!! It was clever he was abroad when it happened...thereagain the CIA/Government would probably have found him an alibi if he hadn’t left the country.
