On 8 August 1998, Al Qaeda detonated two suicide truck bombing attacks on the US Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people and wounding over 4,500. Almost all of the victims were local citizens, none of which ever received any financial assistance from any government. In January 2008, the US extended the reach of the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act to include private action lawsuits on behalf of non-US citizen victims if the victim was an employee of the US government at the time of the attack. In August 2008, we filed a lawsuit against the Republic of Sudan and the Islamic Republic of Iran and others for their complicity in the Al Qaeda attacks on behalf of over 200 victims. Iran provided terrorism training and weapons to the Republic of Sudan, itself a radical Islamist regime. After the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan, Osama Bin Laden relocated Al Qaeda to Sudan and established terrorist training camps at the military camps built by Iran in Sudan. Sudan facilitated meetings between Iranian intelligence and Al Qaeda. We have uncovered evidence that Iranian agents and Iranian sponsored Hizballah terrorists instructed Al Qaeda operatives in the use of suicide truck bomb attacks, identical to the attacks perpetrated at the US Embassies.
