Khobar Towers Bombing Suspects Sentenced
Saudi Arabia has sentenced some suspects in the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing that killed 19 U.S. service personnel, but the main suspects are still at large, the deputy interior minister was quoted as saying.
No details of the sentences were given. Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz told the Saudi newspaper Al Jazeera that two or three of the main suspects remain at large.
Washington last year indicted 13 members of the group called Saudi Hezbollah and a Lebanese man in the June 25, 1996, truck bombing outside a U.S. barracks in Dhahran. The blast wounded 372 U.S. service members.
