NEW YORK - The Latest on the anniversary of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (all times local):
12:30 p.m.
Silence at the moment the World Trade Center was bombed 25 years ago has commemorated the terror attack that foreshadowed 9-11.
The names of the six people killed on Feb. 26, 1993, including a pregnant woman, were being read at a ceremony at ground zero. Earlier Monday, a Mass at a nearby church remembered the victims.
The 12:18 p.m. blast injured more than 1,000 and forced tens of thousands of people to flee the trade centre. The bombing became a harbinger of terror at the twin towers eight years before their destruction on Sept. 11, 2001.
Sept. 11 museum president Alice Greenwald says the bombing marked a pivotal moment in the city's history and the nation's reckoning with the threat of international terrorism.
