East Africa embassy bombings  

Definición

  • The synchronized attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 killed 224 people, including 12 Americans stationed at the Kenya embassy, and wounded more than 4,500 innocent bystanders. The six-and-a-half-month trial that resulted from the investigation's first arrests marked the first time the United States prosecuted terrorists for crimes committed off American soil.
