New York City honors victims of 1993 World Trade Center bombing
New York City is marking the anniversary of the 1993 bombing at the old World Trade Center. Six people were killed and more than 1,000 injured when a bomb blew apart a parked van in an underground garage. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey prepared a memorial Mass Monday at St. Peter’s Church in Manhattan. A bell tolled at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum will mark the time of the attack, with a moment of silence honoring the victims. The attack was carried out by Islamic extremists who sought to punish the U.S. for its Middle East policies.
