WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING, A&E, 1996

On February 26, 1993, New York shook with the force of a vast explosion.

Terrorists had detonated a massive bomb in the garage of the World Trade Center, hoping to topple one of the giant towers. While their ultimate goal went unfulfilled, the perpetrators of this heinous act sent after shocks rumbling across the nation that may never subside.

For after the World Trade Center Bombing, Americans could never again believe that their nation was immune from the threat of international terrorism.

In this edition of the History Channel's "20th Century with Mike Wallace" a veteran team of CBS reporters chronicle every step in the World Trade Center bombing, from the explosion to the arrest and conviction of a group of Islamic fundamentalists led by the blind Egyptian sheik Omar Abdel Rahman.

Extensive footage relives the horror and confusion of the wintry day when the fires of hatred burned through a nation's complacent illusions. FBI agent James Fox, who headed the investigation, tells of the surprising blunders which helped crack the case. And hear from Fouad Ajami, Director of Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins University, as he shares his insight into the event and the culture that spawned it.

OKLAHOMA CITY BOMBING, A&E, 1996

The World Trade Center Bombing shattered America's illusions about being immune to terrorism.

But the Oklahoma City Bombing went further, showing that the worst enemies do not necessarily come from outside our borders. While the nation was in shock following the explosion that tore apart the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, rumors of Arab terrorists circulated wildly. Soon, however, the terrible truth was known the men who had perpetrated this cowardly attack were American.

This edition of "The 20th Century" tells the complete story of the worst terrorist act in American history through the accounts of those who were there, including the rescue workers who had the horrific task of combing through the wreckage for survivors.

Law enforcement agents detail the nationwide manhunt that eventually led to the apprehension of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.
