Biden, Jr., A U.S. Senator from the state of Delaware The Chairman. The hearing will come to order. I thank the witnesses and my colleagues for their patience. Let us begin. I have a brief opening statement, and then I will yield to my colleague, Senator Hatch. Almost 2 months ago, a massive bomb exploded in the World Trade Center in New York City. Six people died, over 1,000 people were injured, and at least $1 billion of damage resulted as the explosion ripped through seven concrete floors and destroyed the buildings´ power, communications, and safety systems. The terror felt by those present at the explosion was visible on the faces of the survivors as they streamed out of the building, and this terror was shared by all Americans who felt suddenly vulnerable because terrorism was no longer an abstract concept to them. It threatened an American landmark on American soil. Since the bombing, law enforcement officials have made substantial progress in uncovering who carried out the World Trade Center bombing. Several suspects are now under arrest and indictment, and many facts about the attack and how it was carried out are now known. Nonetheless, it is clear that many questions remain to be considered and hopefully answered. Restoring peace of mind to all Americans depends in part on our ability to address the questions that have been raised by that bombing efficiently and effectively. Today, we will attempt to answer some of those questions with our witnesses. Ambassador Woolsey, the Director of the CIA, Director Sessions of the FBI, and Mr. Pope of the State Department, as well as experts from various fields of intelligence and law enforcement, will discuss the nature and scope of the terrorism threat we face today.
