Sorry but a few corrections. Nairobi is at the heart of Kenya, no way it has prestine beaches. Also the terrorist did not accelerate at the barrier, they stopped at the gate of the u.s embassy, the guard refused to open for them, threw grenade to the guard drawing many people in the surrounding buildings to the windows then the bomb exploded OUTSIDE the compound. That's why so many people had facial injuries in surrounding buildings.

Why not just say the final death count was 212 human beings. As if there is a difference in the value of the 12 Americans vs 200 Kenyans

nairobi worst day
@
As much as it hurts that Kenya was bombed. i hate the condescension and lack of proper fact checks that was done related to Kenya. First of all, the beach is way far from Nairobi and instead of solidarity as humans the begining statements really dehumanise Kenyan citizens. btw, according to the FBI its Fazul Mohamed. never again. Kenyan muslims live side by side with our various Christian denominations. as a christian and Kenyan respect africa
@
Fazul was the real menace! This guy deverstated and destroyed us.
Many Kenyans have to think of Alqeeda when they pass through the bomblast area.
It pains. But we surge on.
@
Watching from kenya

I AM FOLLOWING UP GUY'S ni nice documentary
@
Lost my aunt at the US Embassy ... horrible day . The aftermath was a scene from hell

Osama bin Laden was not a Saudi prince. He was born into an immensely wealthy and influential Saudi Arabian business family, but they are not part of the royal House of Saud.
