 NEW YORK (AP) - The agency that owns the World Trade Center has been found negligent for not doing enough to thwart a deadly 1993 terrorist bombing in a parking garage beneath the twin towers, a ruling that likely opens the door to more litigation.
A six-person jury ruled Wednesday that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the bistate agency that operates the trade center, didn't heed warnings by its own security consultants that the garage was vulnerable.
The verdict means relatives of the six people killed and the hundreds of other victims and businesses affected by the blast may proceed with lawsuits for monetary damages against the Port Authority.
