2 Suspects Held in Bombings of U.S. Embassies
Police arrested two men Sunday for allegedly conspiring with Osama bin Laden in last summer’s deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, Scotland Yard authorities said.
The men were arrested in London on warrants following a request from the United States. They are charged with conspiring with Bin Laden and his network to murder American citizens on or prior to Aug. 8, 1998, police said.
Ibrahim Hussein Abdel Hadi Eidarous and Adel Mohammed Abdul Almagid Bary are set to appear today for the start of the extradition process.
Bin Laden is suspected of masterminding the Aug. 7, 1998, bombings of the embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which killed 224 people.
