New York AP reports Ramzi Yousef, mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, may have fallen to his own ego. FBI veteran James Fox notes Yousef flaunted luxury travel while evading capture, then was arrested in Pakistan after a global manhunt. Fox says the fugitive sought the spotlight and misread the danger of his fame.
