Historical Notes
In October 1993, the United States began its trial against the four perpetrators of the World Trade Center bombing in custody: Mahmoud Abouhalima, Ahmad Ajaj, Nidal Ayyad, and Mohammed Salameh.
More than 200 witnesses testified during the trial, which took place in front of Judge Kevin T. Duffy in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The trial lasted six months. At its conclusion, on March 4, 1994, the four defendants were found guilty on all counts. On May 24, 1994, Judge Duffy sentenced each of them to 240 years in prison, factoring in the combined life expectancies of the six people killed in the 1993 bombing.
