A massive investigation and two-year man hunt for the suspected attackers was led by New York City’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and around 700 FBI agents worldwide. The vehicle, a Ryder van, was traced to a rental agency in New Jersey, which led investigators to Mohammed Salameh, who had reported it stolen on the afternoon of February 26.
Salameh was arrested on March 4, 1993, shortly before the arrest of three more co-conspirators: Ahmad Ajaj, Nidal Ayyad, and Mahmoud Abouhalima. Two of the bombers, Ramzi Yousef and Eyad Ismoil, fled the country the night of the attack using fake passports.
