| 2001-10-11 |
The United States has concluded that the Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah was behind the 1996 Islamic bombing of a U.S. military barracks in Saudi Arabia. A federal indictment unsealed in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va. listed Hizbullah as the organization that sponsor the bombing of the barracks in the Saudi city of Khobar. Nineteen servicemen were killed in the blast. Moreover, the indictment said the Khobar plot was discovered three months before the actual bombing when Saudi border guards seized about 40 kilograms of explosives. |
