1993 WTC 'plotter' and Mike meet

Subject: txt gwto islm libs -
A controversial imam who was an 'unindicted co-conspirator' in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was among a group of Muslim leaders invited yesterday to a meeting with Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall.

Siraj Wahhaj has defended the convicted WTC bomb plotters, called the FBI and CIA the ''real terrorists,'' and said he hopes all Americans eventually become Muslim.

Bloomberg invited him to the roundtable and shook his hand when he entered the meeting room, which was closed to reporters.

"I think that if the mayor had any discomfort he would not have invited me,"

said Wahhaj, an imam at Masjid Al-Taqwa in Brooklyn.

Wahhaj's name was omitted from a guest list given to the press after photographers were invited in to take pictures.
