In a ruling apt to lead to more litigation, the agency that owns the World Trade Center was found negligent Wednesday for not doing enough to thwart a deadly 1993 terrorist bombing in a parking garage beneath the twin towers. A six-person jury found that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was 68 percent liable for the bombing and that terrorists were 32 percent liable -- a determination that a lawyer for the agency said "stands logic, rationality and reason on their heads."

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.
