LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST:
The extremist Muslim cleric known as The Blind Sheikh has died in a U.S. prison. NPR's Cory Turner reports on the man who was convicted two decades ago of conspiring 1 to wage a war of urban terrorism against the United States.
CORY TURNER, BYLINE 2: Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman died at 5:40 Saturday morning at a federal prison complex in North Carolina. The facility's acting 3 executive assistant, Kenneth McCoy, said Abdel-Rahman was 78 years old and had died after a long struggle with coronary artery 4 disease and diabetes 5, which had caused his blindness as a child.
Abdel-Rahman was born in Egypt and came to the U.S. in the early 1990s, preaching a radical 6, violent vision of Islam in and around New York City. After the February 1993 truck bombing of the World Trade Center that killed six people and injured more than a thousand, Abdel-Rahman spoke 7 to reporters with the help of a translator. Here's a clip from The Associated Press.

UNIDENTIFIED INTERPRETER: He says, I am - I said, I condemn 8 any act that will hurt their national security or the security of America or the Americans.
TURNER: But the FBI was able to build a conspiracy 9 case against Abdel-Rahman after one of his known associates turned informant. Four months after the Trade Center attack, Abdel-Rahman was arrested and charged with attempting to orchestrate an ambitious series of terror attacks on New York City landmarks 10. Among the targets were the George Washington Bridge, the United Nations headquarters and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. Abdel-Rahman was convicted of seditious conspiracy, guilty on 48 of 50 charges, and sentenced to life in U.S. prison. Cory Turner, NPR News, Washington.
