Ni miaka 22 tangu shambulio la kigaidi katika balozi za Marekani, Nairobi na Dar es Salaam
Ni miaka 22 tangu shambulio la kigaidi lilipotokea katika ofisi za ubalozi wa Marekani jijini Dar es Salaam na Nairobi.

Agosti 7,1998, watu 213 waliuawa katika ubalozi wa Marekani Nairobi na 11 Dar es Salaam na wengine 5,000 walijeruhiwa.
Na 12 kati yao walikuwa raia wa Marekani.

Leo imetimu miaka 22 toka kulipuliwa kwa Balozi za Marekani nchini #Tanzania na #Kenya. Tunawaenzi wale wote waliopoteza maisha yao na kujeruhiwa katika shambulio hilo na tunakumbuka kwa shukrani moyo wa huruma ulioonyeshwa na Watanzania na Wakenya kufuatia shambulio hilo.

East African Embassy Bombings — FBI

HISTORY
East African Embassy Bombings

On August 7, 1998, nearly simultaneous bombs blew up in front of the American embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Two hundred and twenty-four people died in the blasts, including 12 Americans, and more than 4,500 people were wounded.

In the aftermath of the attacks, over 900 FBI agents alone—and many more FBI employees—traveled overseas to assist in the recovery of evidence and the identification of victims at the bomb sites and to track down the perpetrators.

These attacks were soon directly linked to al Qaeda. To date, more than 20 people have been charged in connection with the bombings. Several of these individuals—including Usama bin Laden—have been killed. Six are serving life sentences in U.S. prison, and a few others are awaiting trial.

The KENBOM and TANBOM investigations—as the FBI calls them—represented at that time the largest deployment in Bureau history. They led to ramped up anti-terror efforts by the United States and by the FBI, including an expanded Bureau overseas presence that can quickly respond to acts of terrorism that involve Americans.

The investigation continues, with the following fugitives still wanted for their alleged roles in the attacks:

4 Guilty in 1998 Terrorist Blasts at U.S. Embassies
BY JOHN J. GOLDMAN

NEW YORK —
A federal court jury convicted four followers of Islamic militant Osama bin Laden on Tuesday in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998 that killed 224.
The almost simultaneous attacks on the diplomatic facilities in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, were part of what prosecutors said was a worldwide plot to murder Americans. More than 4,500 were injured, many seriously, in the massive explosions.
The jury of seven women and five men, whose identities were kept secret, convicted all four defendants of conspiring to kill

Behind a front of businesses used to disguise terrorist activities and to funnel money to operatives, al Qaeda’s organization chart consisted of a number of committees, including a military committee, a business committee and a media committee reporting to a Shura Council of leaders.

Hundreds of thousands of pages of material were used to prepare for the trial, underscoring the magnitude and complexity of the investigation.

Barry W. Mawn, assistant FBI director in charge of the New York field office, said the investigation represented the largest FBI deployment abroad ever.....

At 10:30 a.m. local time, a massive truck bomb explodes outside the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. Minutes later, another truck bomb detonated outside the U.S. embassy in Dar es Salaam, the capital of neighboring Tanzania. The dual terrorist attacks killed 224 people, including 12 Americans, and wounded more than 4,500. The United States accused Saudi exile Osama bin Laden, a proponent of international terrorism against America, of masterminding the bombings. On August 20, President Bill Clinton ordered cruise missiles launched against bin Laden’s terrorist training camps in Afghanistan and against a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, where bin Laden allegedly made or distributed chemical weapons.
