In 1995, a car bomb explosion outside a U.S. training facility in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killed many, including five Americans. Seven months later, a truck bomb was detonated at Khobar Towers, an air base in Saudi Arabia, injuring American, French, Saudi, and British soldiers and civilians and killing nineteen Americans.
