Terrorism investigation

Who Bombed Khobar Towers? Anatomy of a Crooked Terrorism Investigation


In a handout photo provided by the U.S. Navy, the aftermath of a truck bombing that killed 19 Americans at the Khobar Towers barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, June 17, 1996. Saudi Arabia has arrested a suspect in the bombing, a Saudi-owned newspaper reported on Aug. 26, 2015, citing unnamed officials. (Photo: U.S. Navy via The New York Times)The Khobar Towers bombing, which killed 19 US servicemen and wounded 372, is one of the events that US officials and news media routinely mention as proof of Iran's sponsorship of terrorism. And in 2001 the Bush administration indicted Mughassil, along with twelve other members of "Hizballah Al-Hijaz," the Saudi Shiite dissident organization aligned with Iran, for allegedly carrying out the Khobar bombing under direction from Iran.
