Washington -- The “unspeakable” bombing by al-Qaida of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 10 years ago strengthened the long-standing ties that bind the American, Kenyan and Tanzanian people, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said August 7.
Speaking on the 10th anniversary of the bombings, Rice said the nearly simultaneous terrorist attacks on both facilities “did not destroy our spirit.”
“Today, we remain partners with the people of Tanzania and Kenya, and I witnessed the spirit of that partnership when I visited both Kenya and Tanzania earlier this year,” she said at a memorial service held at the Department of State in Washington.
“Secure new embassies have now been built in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam reflecting the enduring strength of these relationships. Bombs and bullets and terror can never and will never break our bond,” she said. more..http://www.america.gov/st/peacesec-english/2008/August/20080807172759WCyeroC0.76112.html&distid=ucs
