1998. Attack on the US Embassy in Kenya and Tanzania
15 years ago, on August 7, 1998, American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were attacked by terrorists. As a result of the undermining of the cars filled with explosives, 213 people were killed in Nairobi and 11 in the gift-es-salam (only 12 were Americans), and about 5,000 people suffered from explosions. The organizer of the attacks was Osama Ben Laden. As a response, by order of President Bill Clinton, 50 cruise missiles were released in the training camp of Ben Laden militants in Afghanistan.
