NEW YORK CITY-Abu Dhabi television is reporting that the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, headed by Naif Hawatme, has claimed responsibility for the near-simultaneous plane crashes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Both buildings have collapsed.

GlobeSt.com was on the scene when the second structure caved in at 10:25, shortly after the first building fell. Survivors of the Trade Center attack are being taken to St. Vincent’s hospital and Bellevue for treatment.

Reports also state that a helipad at the Pentagon has been hit by a commercial airliner that eyewitness claim was gaining speed as it approached the building. State Department officials are unofficially confirming reports that Palestinian terrorists are responsible for both attacks.
