Three months after the bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa, a U.S court indicted Saudi businessman Osama bin Laden for the attacks. Bin Laden is possibly in Afghanistan, protected by the Taliban, which has refused a Saudi request to expel him. Reportedly, however, the Taliban might try him for the earlier bombing of the American barracks in Dhahran. Three suspects jailed in Manhattan for the embassy bombings are allegedly associated with bin Laden or the network of anti-U.S. militants that support his objectives. Recently, the State Department admitted receiving an intelligence report forewarning of the Nairobi embassy attack.
