The 9/11 Commission Report: Crisis: August 1998

On August 7th 1998, two truck bombs detonated at US embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. Later, Al Qaeda would be suspected of the dual attacks which promoted the Clinton administration to retaliate by sending missile strikes on an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical warehouse called "al-Shifa" in Khartoum, Sudan. However, the media criticize the attack as being "too aggressive" and also questioned the intelligence reports lacking any actionable information regarding who Osama Bin Laden was or the organization, Al Qaeda.
