  1998 U.S. embassy bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings ( August 7, 1998), hundreds of people were killed in simultaneous car bomb explosions at the United States embassies in the East African capital cities of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya.
Along with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1996 Khobar Towers attacks in Saudi Arabia, and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole in Yemen, the Embassy Bombing is one of the major anti-American terrorist attacks that preceded the attacks of September 11th.
In Nairobi, where the embassy was located in a busy downtown area, 213 people were killed and an estimated 4000 injured; in Dar es Salaam, the embassy was further from the city center, and the attack killed at least 12 and wounded 85.

It mentions how 70 people were killed in Luxor, Egypt in 1997 when gunmen attacked tourists, and more than 200 died and thousands were injured when truck bombs attacked US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania the following year.
"But what it is doing is it's reminding us of the different terrorist attacks, many of them linked to al-Qaeda or indeed to Bin Laden, going back to 1993 with the first attack on the World Trade Centre, eight years before 9/11," she said.
She said Number 10 was "trying to counter the suggestion that by going to war with Iraq, Tony Blair has somehow made the British people more likely to be attacked".
