Editing Ramzi Yousef (section)

===Explosion and aftermath===
Yousef rented a [[Ryder]] van and on 26 February 1993, loaded it with powerful explosives. He packed four cardboard boxes into the back of the van, each containing a mixture of paper bags, newspapers, urea, and nitric acid; next to them he placed three red metal cylinders of compressed hydrogen. Four large containers of [[nitroglycerin]] were loaded into the center of the van with Atlas Rockmaster blasting caps connected to each.<ref name="NewJackals" />

The van was driven into the garage of the World Trade Center, where it exploded.<!--Already included in earlier paragraph: (in a later interrogation Yousef told investigators that the plan had been to take out structural parts of the foundation and make one tower collapse into the other) --> Using his [[Pakistani passport]], Yousef escaped from the United States hours later. It is believed that he fled to [[Iraq]] and then Pakistan.<ref name="THE WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMB: Who is Ramzi Yousef?
