In August 1998, Al-Qaeda orchestrated simultaneous bomb attacks on the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. These attacks resulted in the deaths of 224 people and injured over 4,500 others, marking a significant escalation in the group's anti-American activities. The bombings prompted the U.S. to launch military strikes against terrorist camps in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, highlighting the growing global threat posed by terrorism. The incidents underscored the vulnerabilities of U.S. diplomatic missions abroad and led to increased security measures.
