The principal target of Take Back the Memorial was the International Freedom Center (IFC) which was to have been located at the World Trade Center site.

The families, cops and firefighters said that the IFC's plan to use hallowed land at Ground Zero to highlight pover ...

The group's involvement in the bombing of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania is widely suspected, and Al-Qaeda had declared responsibility for the 2000 USS Cole attack in Yemen. The motivation for this campaign was set out in a 1998 fatwa [14] issued by bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Abu-Yasir Rifa'i Ahmad Taha, Shaykh Mir Hamzah, and Fazlur Rahman.
