The man who inspired the first terror attack on the World Trade Center nearly 24 years ago is dead.
Omar Abdel-Rahman died Saturday from natural causes in a federal prison in North Carolina.
The 78-year-old Egyptian cleric, who was also known as the "Blind Sheikh," was serving a life sentence for plotting to blow up several landmarks around the city.
A circle of his followers were convicted of detonating a bomb under the North Tower on February 26, 1993.
Six people died in the attack.
The daughter of one of the victims says Abdel-Rahman's death doesn't erase her loss.
"Nothing is going to change the fact that their actions is what — what broke our family a little bit, you know, it took my father, the breadwinner, who we depended on, entirely," said Yvette Mercado-Rehm.
Next Sunday marks 24 years since the first attack.
The names of every person who died in the attack are inscribed onto bronze panels at the Memorial pools in Lower Manhattan.
