Terrorists working in Kenya blew up the American Embassy in 1998 and an Israeli-owned hotel in November.

A local farmer said today that he spoke to the suicide bombers, one of whom appeared very nervous, just before they destroyed an Israeli-owned beachfront hotel here last Thursday.

Last November a suicide bomb attack on an Israeli-owned hotel near Mombasa coincided with a failed attempt to bring down an Israeli airplane with shoulder-fired missiles.

Another attack, on an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa last year, all but killed Kenyan tourism.

The 2002 Mombasa attacks refer to terrorist attacks on an Israeli-owned hotel and a plane belonging to an Israeli airline in Mombasa, Kenya on 28 November 2002.

Paradise Hotel was the only Israeli-owned hotel in the Mombasa area.

In Mombasa, three suicide bombers at the Israeli-owned hotel killed at least 13 people and injured dozens when they drove up to the doors of the hotel and detonated their explosives.

Coordinated with that attack, 16 people died in a suicide bombing at an Israeli-owned hotel near Mombasa.

Mr. Sunkuli, with Israeli and American help, is coordinating the investigation of the bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel and the failed missile attack on an Israeli airliner.
