Between 10:30 and 10:40 am local time on August 7, 1998, suicide bombers parked trucks outside of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and detonated them almost simultaneously.

This horrific tragedy was later linked to Osama bin Laden. In November 1998, the U.S. indicted bin Laden and 20 others. Of those 21 people, only 3 remain at large.
