Also on June 25, but in 1993:

My point remains the same ... The attack on Americans in Saudi Arabia came after this meeting where Iraqi intelligence sought to work with bin Laden on a strike against Americans in Saudi Arabia. Right?

Khobar was actually 1996, ("Dating Game: terrorism by the numbers" has that typo too.) but good info. :)

My mistake, Khobar Towers was 1996, not 1999.
