Kenya

Suicide Bombing has become a principle weapon of terrorists around the world. The number of bombings and people killed and maimed, has become too numerous for CANASB resources to follow. Individual pages have, therefore, been rewritten to highlight important events and others may be added as resources allow.

Attacks on Israeli Tourists in Kenya, November 28, 2002:
A three-person suicide car bomb attack on the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, killed 15 persons and wounded 40. Three of the dead and 18 of the wounded were Israeli tourists; the others were Kenyans. Near Mombasa's airport, two SA-7 shoulder-fired missiles were fired as an Arkia Airlines Boeing 757 that was carrying 261 passengers back to Israel. Both missiles missed. Al-Qaida, the Government of Universal Palestine in Exile, and the Army of Palestine claimed responsibility for both attacks. Al-Ittihad al-Islami was also suspected of involvement.
