harmless powder for the explosives, an informer said after
the blast.

Mr. Salem, a 43-year-old former Egyptian Army officer, was used
by the Government [of the United States] to penetrate a circle
of Muslim extremists who are now charged in two bombing cases:
the World Trade Center attack, and a foiled plot to destroy
the United Nations, the Hudson River tunnels, and other
New York City landmarks. He is the crucial witness in the
second bombing case, but his work for the Government was
erratic, and for months before the World Trade Center blast,
he was feuding with th F.B.I.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
.... Where is the conspiracy here ? This infiltration could have prevented the plot, I agree, but they failed, maybe because they wanted to go further in the investigation. Infiltration is common for secret service ...
