He worked for the FBI for 31 years. The FBI appointed him as the chief of the bureau’s International Terrorism Operations. During his time with the FBI, O’Neill worked on many of the world’s deadliest terrorist attacks, including the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and the 1998 attacks on the U.S. embassies in Africa. O’Neill’s first terrorism case was, in fact, the 1993 truck bombing of the World Trade Center. After retiring from the FBI, O’Neill took a new job. That job was the security director for the World Trade Center....

I was there, and know better. Until now, the central purported prop for the charge went unrebutted. Charles “Chuck” Colson has now spoken up.
