Bombings of U.S. Embassies in East Africa

Nairobi, Kenya
Click here for the public service announcement		 On August 7, 1998,  224 innocent civilians were killed by terrorist bombs when they exploded at the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

These two cowardly attacks seriously wounded over 5,000  men, women and children. Civilized people everywhere reject such acts of random violence. 

Usama Bin Laden, Muhammad Atef, Mustafa Mohammed Fadhil,  Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, Fahid Mohammed Ally Msalam, and Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan and others already in custody are believed to be responsible for the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya on August 7, 1998.  These terrorist attacks indiscriminately killed 224 innocent civilians and wounded over 5,000 others.  These terrorists are believed to be part of an international criminal conspiracy headed by Usama Bin Laden.  The U.S. Government is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction, in any country, of Bin Laden, Atef, Al Zawahiri, Fadhil, Ghailani, Msalam, Mohammed, or Swedan.

A reward of up to $5 million may be paid to any person who furnishes such information. The reward is available under the Counter-Terrorism Rewards Program. This program is designed to protect innocent lives by punishing those responsible for past international terrorist acts against U.S. persons or property and preventing future such acts. The program provides for the protection of identity and the possibility of relocation for persons who contribute such information and their families.

Persons wishing to report information about these bombings, or any other terrorist attack, should contact  the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.  In the United States, call your local office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Bureau of Diplomatic Security at 1-800-437-6371, or write to:
