Anti-terror squad produced Patrick Fitzgerald & blueprint for prosecutions
Anti-terror squad produced Patrick Fitzgerald and a blueprint for prosecutions
December 20, 2005 (NEW YORK) - Prosecutors across the country now have a large arsenal of laws to pursue people suspected of ties to terrorism, but that wasn't the case when Ramzi Yousef decided to try to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993.

In the months following the bombing that killed six people and injured more than 1,000 others, a group of young unknown federal prosecutors in Manhattan went to work creating a new frontier in American law enforcement to combat terrorism at home.

The group included Patrick Fitzgerald, now a special prosecutor looking into the leak two years ago of the identity of a CIA operative whose husband was critical of the U.S. government's description of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Fitzgerald, or "Fitzy" as he was called by colleagues, became one of the nation's first experts on al-Qaida, able to spell and define Middle Eastern names for jurors as easily as a baseball fan reciting a player's batting average.
