State Department issues $5 million reward for last fugitive in 1993 World Trade Center bombing
By Associated Press, 4/4/2005 18:41

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) The U.S. State Department said Monday it was offering a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the capture and conviction of the last remaining fugitive wanted for the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

In a statement released in Baghdad, the State Department said it was looking for Iraqi-American Abdul Rahman Yasin, 45, believed to have helped build the bomb used in the Feb. 26, 1993, attack that killed six people.

The statement described Yasin as being 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing about 180 pounds. He is epileptic and ''possibly has a noticeable chemical scar on his right thigh.''

Yasin was born in Bloomington, Ind., of Iraqi parents and moved to Iraq when he was young. He returned to the United States as part of a terrorist group, the statement said.

After fleeing the United States following the 1993 bombing, he was arrested and held in an Iraqi prison until being released in 2003.

He is believed to be hiding near Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad.
