NEW YORK (CNN) -- Jury selection began in New York Monday in the federal trial of three men accused of plotting to bomb 11 planes headed for the United States on a single day in 1995.

Ramzi Yousef is charged with masterminding the plot. He also will be tried later this year, accused of planning the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Four men are already serving life in prison for that crime.

They also say they found computer disks containing detailed plans to blow up U.S. airliners.

The alleged plot involved leaving bombs on flights that would take off from Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore.


Gee, now doesn't this story sound familiar? I would think from listening to the news the last few days, that this was new information that they just found out about in the last 6 months from Khalid Sheik Mohammed. But the truth is that the entire 'confession' from Khalid is nothing but a rehash of information that has been in the public domain since 1996. Now, tell me again, no one in the Bu$h WH ever imagined someone would fly airplanes into buildings?

1. Are you calling Condi a liar?

Better watch what you say, watch what you do.

cause Big Brother Ashcroft is watching you.

And anyway, those plans that we knew about in 1996 were for foreign planes. Get with the program already.
