Terror Investigation Thwarted

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) says the Bush administration has repeatedly thwarted his attempts to interview a terrorist in federal prison.

Ramzi Yousef, the terrorist who plotted the first World Trade Center bombing, has been in federal prison for ten years. Rohrabacher says he has evidence that may connect Yousef to the Oklahoma City Bombing, and that while this evidence alone does not prove anything, it warrants investigation. Members of Congress, Rohrabacher says, have the right to interview any federal prisoner.
