New York City has marked the anniversary of the 1993 bombing at the old World Trade Center, when Islamic extremists first attempted to bring down the twin towers

At Wednesday’s ceremony, Charlie Maikish, who was the director of the World Trade Center in 1993, delivered remarks, as did Elizabeth L. Hillman, president of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, which oversees the reflecting pools where the names of the victims of the attacks on 2/26/1993 and 9/11/2001 are engraved.
