Mohammed A. Salameh (Arabic: محمد سلامة; born September 1, 1967) is a Palestinian convicted terrorist and perpetrator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
He applied for an immigration amnesty under a 1986 law that set up the Special Agricultural Worker program despite never having been eligible.
[3] With his Nova in for repairs, Salameh got Nidal Ayyad to use his corporate account with Allied Signal to rent him a new car.
He had just collected $400 after reporting his rental van had been stolen and speaking with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Ryder "loss prevention analyst".
Earlier, the FBI had traced the Ford Econoline van that had been used in the World Trade Center bombing by its vehicle identification number.
