Trade Center Convict Urges Death for Blast
From Associated Press
NEW YORK —
One of four men convicted in the World Trade Center bombing said Friday that the Oklahoma City bombers deserve a torturous death.
“He killed 12 kids. He must get the worst punishment in the world, to die very slowly,” Ahmad Ajaj, 29, said by phone from a federal penitentiary in Florence, Colo.
Ajaj was sentenced last year to 240 years in prison for the 1993 bombing of the trade center that killed six people and injured more than 1,000.
