I was watching a YouTube video on 9/11 and I saw a New York Times front page from the day after the 1993 bombing of the WTC. I had a WTF moment when I glimpsed it.
The sub-headline said "Commentary: what role did baseball exec George W. Bush play in WTC bomb?" (my emphasis)
Interesting that the Times felt it worthy to mention Bush's name in conjunction with the early 1993 bombing.
I will see if I can find this in their archives to see what the text was underneath the headline. Has anyone else looked at this?

I'd be interested to find out what part he played?
That front page looks kind of fake/photoshopped to me.
I have carefully reviewed the archives of the New York Times and have been unable to locate that article, or even the prominent headline directly above it.

well, it wouldn't surprise me that it couldn't be found, either way.
Having just googled it, I'm going with "fake" too.
Despite that there are some very odd connections to the 93 bombing. Particularly the FBI who supplied the bomb and probably the patsies.
Interestingly, I found a tweet where someone had asked essentially the same question as me, i.e. if it was genuine.
The guy said to me he's had no response to his tweet "..and no reply from the Times, who reproduced this (purported) 26 Feb 1993 NYT cover on 11 Sept 2014. Not in NYT archive".

Oh, there is much to say on this topic - one more widely hidden and covered-up that the later WTC attacks...but the FBI, as Magda says, did provide the explosives and was aware of it at every stage - likely guiding and instigating it. Later, they threw in jail the main patsy's lawyer. Some who were involved in this event were also said to have been in the 9-11-01 event...if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again....FBI et al.
I have not researched this, but suppose that this 'headline' is an invented/photoshopped one by someone in cyberspace, and not a real NYT artifact.
W was not, to my knowledge involved nor aware of EITHER event....until after the fact.
Peter,
Do you have any links or books I could look at with regard to this please?
thanks
