Egyptian terror group claimed responsibility for downing TWA Flight 800 off Long Island in 1996, new FBI records reveal
A terror group from Egypt told the FBI it was responsible for downing TWA Flight 800 and killing all 230 people aboard, according to newly surfaced FBI records featured in a new documentary marking the 30th anniversary of the tragedy.
An explosive claim buried in a trove of newly obtained Freedom of Information Act documents is reviving decades-old questions about whether a missile or bomb brought down the Boeing 747-100 off Long Island on July 17, 1996.
Among the records obtained by the transparency nonprofit Judicial Watch is a New York teletype dated two days after the crash, case file 265A-NY-259028: “FBI headquarters received faxes generated from Cairo claiming credit for the destruction of the aircraft,” the cable states.
The document does not name the terror group or otherwise provide an assessment by investigators at the time of the veracity of its claim to have brought down the jet.
