If Afghanistan does turn over bin Laden to Saudi Arabia, it is possible that bin Laden might be tried there, rather than in the United States. Saudi dissident Osama Bin Laden is wanted by U.S. officials for those attacks. Clinton administration officials said the new diplomatic effort did not preclude further military action against bin Laden and his terrorist network. Abouhalima told investigators of other contacts with el Hage. Saudi Arabia has never charged bin Laden or anyone else in the 1996 bombing, and any specific American accusations linking bin Laden to that attack have been spelled out only in a sealed indictment.
