We were living on the other side of Al Khobar at the time of the bombing. My wife worked at the Air Force PX at the opposite end of the compound from where the bomb exploded in an underground parking garage. The explosion dented the below-ground level locked entrance door. Fortunately, that was her day off. The PX closed at 10 pm and the employees were on their way home in the bus when the bomb went off about 20 minutes after 10 and were not injured by the bomb.
My wife knew all of the 19 killed from their visits to the PX. Since she had access to the compound we funneled all kinds of food and treats to the injured from friends in Aramco after they started letting employees back in.
Shattered windows in everything for hundreds of yards around - in fact, most of the windows in the Khobar Towers highrise buildings, regardless of how they were oriented to the explosion. A lot of foreign laborers lived in shanties built in the area. There were a lot of people killed besides the 19 US servicemen/women. The Saudis sat on that info.

I suspect
the our dear friends, the Saudis have known precisely where this mutt was for over a decade.
Why now?

Hmmmmm. Death, or life without parole at hard labor? Do they have hard labor anymore? They should.

I remember when that happened. Most of the victims were members of the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin. The Nomads were the elite fighting group during the war, scoring nearly every air to air victory.
I wondered if that was the reason they were singled out.

I suggest shoot on sight and call the garbage man.

This will make my sister happy. She (USAF) was in Saudi when this bombing occurred.
