Embassy-Bombing Jury Sees Truck Bits
Jurors in the U.S. embassy bombings trial viewed burned-out, crumpled chunks of a truck that hauled a bomb into the embassy compound in Kenya.
Pieces of the Toyota were found after two embassies were bombed on Aug. 7, 1998. The attacks, in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killed 224 people.
If convicted, Wadih El-Hage, 40, and Mohamed Sadeek Odeh, 36, could face life in prison while Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al-’Owhali and Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, 27, could face the death penalty.
The four are accused of joining a conspiracy led by Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire.
