Nairobi's US embassy attack victims ten years on - 07 Aug 08

Ten years ago, car bombs exploded within minutes of each outside US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, killing 224 people and wounding thousands.

It was the first time the world had heard of the alleged culprits, al-Qaeda, and Osama bin Laden, the network's leader.

Days ago, the man most wanted for the bombings eluded capture in Kenya, but his relatives were arrested for harbouring him.

The attacks dramatically changed the lives of the survivors.

Mohammed Adow has been to meet some of them in Nairobi.

The following story contains scenes some viewers might find distressing.

These poor people were butchered because they were NEAR the target Embassy. They are innocent of ANY wrong doing. NOTHING could ever be said that would rationalize this terror..

ANYONE WHO WOULD IN ANY MANNER TOLERATE THIS DISGUSTING HORROR IS NOT WORTHY OF SPEAKING FOR ANY GOOD OR WORTHY INSTITUTION. Those who would defend in ANY manner this sort of terror are Damned as they allow this to continue. If Islam is an expression of Good; it simply must condemn this Evil.

And....therefore it does!

[afrircans1970]

ANY horror committed in the belief that it serves the greater Good is a lie at it's core. Those that commit such things Lie before man & Heaven.

To commit such crimes on the innocent will speak louder than any Holy Man who rationalizes or intellectualizes such an abomination.

Also turning 32 on the day AL qAIDa bombed U.S. embassies in KENya & TANzanIA: WENDY W. HODGES (241-37-2117). With a last residence in GREENSBORO, seat of Guilford County, NC, HODGES died on the 23rd birthday of NFL Seattle Seahawks linebacker AARON Curry (b. APR 6, 1986 in Fayetteville, NC). Unrelated: 113th South Carolina governor (1995-1999) David Muldrow BEASLEY (R; b. Feb. 26, 1957); American soccer player DaMARCus Lamont BEASLEY (b. 5/24/82 in Fort WAYNE, IN); or the STONE ROSE video store

Also turning 32 on the day AL qAIDA bombed U.S. embassies in KENya & Tanzania: AIDA ArevALo (103-56-7212 New York) who died AUG. 21, 2007—exactly ten years before the next total eclipse visible from the United States on AUG. 21, 2017. First name AIDA only needs the AL & Q for alternate spelling AL qAIDa (usually AL Qaeda). Who can forget the WNCN (NBC VHF 17 Raleigh, NC) anchor with a special report from the station*s 1205 FRONT St. studios saying TanzAnia (long A), but was it BROOKe Hart?

I couldn’t help but notice: While it has nothing to do with *puppy love* KENya in the middle school 1980s or her bro, CURTIS, adult star Garetto turned 32 on the day of twin AL qAIDa attacks on U.S. embassies in KENya & Tanzania. Others born AUG. 7, 1966 include: ARLENE ALMONTE (083-58-1473 New York). Surname ALmonte could evoke the 2001 Little League World Series scandal when it was discovered Danny ALmonte Rojas (b. Apr 7, 1987 in Moca, Dominican Republic) 2 years over the LLWS age limit

AnnieFannieTit: Of the over 52 Islamic fascist totalitarian states in the world, Pat Robertson & I had very little input in their creation. Especially the 1300 yr old ones. In fact no input. Amazing. Still, it's all the Christians eh? That's Y everyone is soooooo scared of Anglican Nuns at airports. The absurd evidence free Christian strawman arguments more conveniant 4 the irreligious moonbat left than say Buddhist Tao Hindu Animist Secular etc of whom Muslims have murdered literally millions.
