The February 26, 1993 World Trade Center bombing that killed six people.
On June 26, 1996, a huge explosion tore apart the Khobar Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 American soldiers living in the military housing complex. The weapon was another very powerful truck bomb — it left a crater four times as deep and three times as wide as the hole created by the bomb that destroyed the federal office building in Oklahoma City. Bin Laden denied any involvement in the attack, but a few months later he publicly declared war on U.S. troops.
On August 23, 1996 Bin Laden issues a fatwah declaring holy war against the United States and calling for attacks on U.S. troops.
On February 23, 1998 Bin Laden issues a fatwah declaring U.S. citizens should be killed anywhere in the world.
On August 7, 1998, a truck bomb destroyed the U.S. Embassy in Kenya. Moments later another truck bomb exploded outside the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania. The bombings killed 213 in Kenya and 11 in Tanzania.
On October 12, 2000, the U.S. Navy destroyer Cole was attacked by a small boat laden with explosives during a brief refueling stop in the harbor of Aden, Yemen. The suicide terrorist attack killed 17 members of the ship’s crew, wounded 39 others, and seriously damaged the ship.
Yeah, what was that new Bush guy doing about Bin Laden, anyway?
