10-Years After The US Embassy Bombings in Africa
By Annie Jacobsen in category The Al-Qaeda Threat
Yesterday marked the 10-year anniversary of the U.S. Embassy Bombings in East Africa. More than 250 people died, including 10 Americans. More than 6000 were injured; 300 subsequently died.
Jeffrey Imm sums things up and provides some new information over at The Counterterrorism Blog in 1998 U.S. Embassy Bombings and Denial on Jihad's Ideology.
He also makes this salient point:
"Never again" eventually becomes "never mind." Our national outrage at Jihadists and their ideology has transformed into national policies that merely seek to discourage "extremism," and many of our government leaders don't care that no one can define what "extremism" is.
