Synopsis
Recalling Al Qaeda's attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998. The hour follows the chain of events leading up to the suicide car bombings, which took place less than five minutes apart and killed more than 200 people, the vast majority of them Africans. The bombings landed Osama bin Laden on the FBI's Most Wanted list, and four Al Qaeda operatives were convicted in 2001 for their roles in the attacks.
