Iran-Al Qaeda Alliance Enabled 1998
U.S. Embassy Bombings
(New York, N.Y.) - On August 7, 1998 suicide bombers blew up
their pick-up trucks in front of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya
and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Among the 224 people killed were 12
Americans. In 2011, a U.S. district court judge found that Iran
was culpable for the bombings, providing "material support"
to al Qaeda essential for the execution of the attacks.
Iran's alliance with al Qaeda took place while then-President Mohammad Khatami was promoting his
"dialogue among civilizations," an attempt to portray the
regime as being moderate. This myth of moderation continues to the
present day despite Iran's 40-year history of terror and turmoil.
