Great find!
What is so pathetic is the Times was so predictable. I knew they would have written a righteous _Editorial_ in the aftermath of 9-11 beseeching (and blaming) the government about pulling the financial strings of the terrorists. It was simply a matter of finding it.
I had three anded fields in the LexisNexis search: terror and finance and editorial. Limited the publication field to the NYT. Selected 01/01/1991 - 12/31/1991.
Of course it was there.
