From 911Encyclopedia:

On August 7th, 1998, two bombs attacked the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed 224 people and injured thousands. Bin Laden, denied in an interview shortly after the attcak, that he was behind the embassy bombings but said he admired the people who carried out those attacks and two deadly bombings in Saudi Arabia that have killed 24 Americans since 1995. "I have high regard and respect for those men who erased the disgrace from the forehead of our nation," bin Laden said. Washington suspected bin Laden of financing the June 1996 Khobar bombing of a U.S. military complex in the Saudi city of Dhahran which killed 19 American servicemen, another charge he denied. In an al-Jazeera interview, bin Laden lauded those responsible for the Khobar bombing and other attacks on U.S. targets. I look with much praise and respect to these great men for they have lifted the humiliation from the heads of our nation
