A Brief History

April 28—While the American people are being bombarded every day with news reports about the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombings—most of which reports are based on deliberate FBI and law-enforcement leaks spoon-fed to the news media—important lessons can be drawn from FBI terrorism cases going back 20 years, at least as far as 1993.
Furthermore, the FBI's long history of infiltration, incitement to violence, and entrapment, is little known to Americans today. But what the Bureau has done against labor, radicals, and other perceived adversaries for over nine decades, it is doing still today, particularly against Muslim communities and organizations.
1993: A Cautionary Tale
After the first World Trade Center bombing, on Feb. 26, 1993, the news media breathlessly reported detail after detail of the FBI's painstaking investigation. Sifting through bomb debris, investigators found an axle with a VIN (vehicle identification number). That led them to a truck rental outlet in New Jersey. When one of the alleged bombers, Mohammed Salameh, returned to the rental store to report that the van he had rented had been stolen, and to get his deposit back(!), he was arrested. Good police work led to other conspirators, and eventually the case was cracked through methodical detective work.
The reality was quite different. Three months after the bombing, in May 1993, it was revealed that an FBI informant had taught Salameh how to drive the van, two days before the bombing. In June, it was disclosed that a former Egyptian military officer, Emad Salem, had penetrated the alleged bomb conspiracy for the FBI, and had helped test explosives, and had rented the apartment where explosives were mixed. Even as more reports came out over the Summer, the FBI maintained that its informant Salem did not know in advance about the plans to bomb the World Trade Center.
Eight months after the bombing, on Oct. 28, 1993, the New York Times published a blockbuster story revealing the existence of tapes that Salem had made while talking with FBI agents, which showed that some agents and supervisors had known all along about the bomb-making plans. The Times reported:
"Law-enforcement officials were told that terrorists were building a bomb that was eventually used to blow up the World Trade Center, and they planned to thwart the plotters by secretly substituting harmless powder for the explosives, an informer said after the blast.
"The informer was to have helped the plotters build the bomb and supply the fake powder, but the plan was called off by an FBI supervisor who had other ideas about how the informer, Emad A. Salem, should be used, the informer said.
"The account, which is given in the transcript of hundreds of hours of tape recordings Mr. Salem secretl

By Paul W. Valentine
January 12, 1988
BALTIMORE, JAN. 11 -- The federal obstruction of justice trial of former Maryland state senator Clarence M. Mitchell III opened today amid a flurry of allegations of government plots and misconduct as Mitchell renewed assertions that the Reagan administration is seeking to discredit black leaders through selective prosecutions.
Minutes before jury selection started, attorneys for Mitchell asked U.S. District Judge Norman P. Ramsey to delay the trial so that he could look into Mitchell's allegations of an "unofficial" FBI policy to investigate black elected officials throughout the country "without probable cause." The attorneys asked Ramsey to determine if the alleged policy had been applied against Mitchell. Ramsey turned down the request.

Operation Fruhmenschen
“The Washington Post reported that black elected officials were the target of investigations for corruption in 14 percent of the 465 political corruption cases launched between 1983 and 1988—a period in which blacks were just 3 percent of all office holders. Gentleman’s Quarterly (GQ) magazine noted that about half of the Congressional Black Caucus members were the subject of investigations or indictments between 1981 and 1993. States GQ, ‘For the numbers to be equal for white representatives, 204 of the 409 whites … would have been subjected to the same scrutiny during that time … Yet, according to justice Department figures, only 15 actually were.'” Black Elected Officials Targeted By Law

WASHINGTON _ The contention by Mayor Marion Barry’s attorney that the FBI is targeting black officials for sting operations is a new twist on the argument that black officeholders get more than their fair share of law enforcement scrutiny.
But the FBI on Friday continued to reject both arguments, including the notion that it has an ″assault force″ roaming the country trying to create evidence to prosecute black officials.
″There’s no way you could hide something like that,″ FBI spokesman Greg Jones said. ″There are people upstanding enough in the FBI that it would get out. It’s not like the old place.″
