Alas Chiricanas Flight 901
AC Flight 901 was operated by an EMB 110 Bandeirante, registration HP-1202AC. The wreckage was spread across the Santa Rita Mountains near Colón, and it was quickly determined that a bomb had likely caused the explosion. After the crash, Ali Hawa Jamal, who was also onboard the aircraft, was identified as the suspect who carried the bomb onboard.

The attack came only a day after a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device killed 85 people and injured 300 others in Argentina. The device was detonated at the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Society building in Buenos Aires. A group identifying itself as Ansar Allah claimed responsibility for both attacks via a statement in Lebanon a few days later. However, the US government determined that Ansar Allah is an alias for Hizballah.

Among the rewards is $2 million that was paid for information that led to the capture of Pakistani terrorist Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, the mastermind of the February 1993 World Trade Center truck bombing that killed six and injured over 1,000 others. Yousef fled the US and later resurfaced in the Philippines.
He reportedly planned to assassinate Pope John Paul II on January 14, 1995, and to blow up 12 US airliners in Asia a few days later. Yousef was responsible for the bomb placed on Philippine Airlines Flight 434, which was a test for the larger plot to assassinate the Pope and blow up passenger aircraft.
The goal was to kill approximately 4,000 passengers and bring air travel worldwide to a standstill. However, Yousef was forced to flee to Pakistan after an incident in Manila. In February 1995, an informant saw an RFJ ad in a matchbook, contacted the US embassy in Islamabad, and provided information leading to Yousef’s arrest.
