Rahman and nine others were convicted on October 1, 1995. Their case was prosecuted by the high-profile Patrick Fitzgerald. They were convicted not of the World Trade Center bombing, which resulted in six dead and more than one thousand injured, but of conspiring to bomb New York landmarks including the United Nations and FBI offices.
