[6] November 1997 marked the month when two others were convicted in a court for their contributions to the bombing, but only "one other man believed to be directly involved in the attack, Iraqi Abdul Rahman Yasin, remained at large.

[4] In spite of the fact that the U.S. government had been informed of Yasin's whereabouts, on October 10, 2001, Yasin's name appeared at the top of the list of the FBI's 22 Most Wanted Terrorists, which was released to the public by President George W. Bush with a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.

[8] In 2002, following the September 11th attacks, Iraq attempted to hand Yasin over to the US government and began negotiating extradition protocols with the Americans via Egypt.

However, negotiations hit a snag when US intelligence refused to provide Iraq with a receipt citing unfair demands—an official statement acknowledging Yasin had been handed over.

An anonymous US intelligence official claimed to USA Today that "some of the analysts concluded that the documents show that Saddam's government provided monthly payments and a home for Yasin."

Despite the fact that a direct al-Qaeda role in the 1993 WTC attack was never established, Abdul Rahman Yasin was listed on 17 October 2001 as being associated with the organization known as al-Qaeda, the individual named Osama bin Laden and the organization known as the Taliban, for his participation:"in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing or perpetrating of acts or activities by, in conjunction with, under the name of, on behalf, or in support of", "supplying, selling or transferring arms and related materiel to" or "otherwise supporting acts or activities of" al-Qaeda (QDe.004), Osama bin Laden, and the Taliban.
