World Trade Center Attack
Leads to Drug Arrest
Thursday, Oct. 25, 2001
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Six
men have been indicted for
suspected involvement in a
drug ring police discovered
after one of the suspects
refused to evacuate his
smoke and debris-filled
apartment near "ground
zero" of the World Trade
Center attack.
"This guy ... had his
priorities in mind despite
the fact that the World
Trade Center crumbled
right across the street. He
didn't leave his post," said
Bridget Brennan of the
city's special narcotics unit.
One man in the alleged drug ring was arrested on Sept. 11, the day that
two hijacked jumbo jets slammed into the World Trade Center and
destroyed the twin towers, in an apartment a few hundred yards from the
disaster site, prosecutors said.
Several others were arrested later, they said.
"The Fire and Police Department officers were alert to any kind of
suspicious behavior and they took appropriate action," Brennan said at a
news conference Wednesday with Robert Morgenthau, Manhattan district
attorney.
In a sweep of areas placed off-limits after the attack, the Fire Department
filed a report that there was still a person at an address who failed to
evacuate an apartment filled with smoke and debris just north of the twin
towers that caught the eye of Morgenthau.
He noticed that the address was the same as a place sited in a year-long
investigation by his office as an alleged drug ring station.
Morgenthau issued search warrants, dispatched police to the apartment,
who arrested the man. The Manhattan prosecutor said police also seized
3,000 ecstasy tablets, hashish, marijuana, drug paraphernalia including
scales, grinders, chemical, guns and ammunition from the apartment. |
