V-O-A'S CORRESPONDENT LARRY FREUND REPORTS. TEXT: THE TWO MEN -- IDENTIFIED BY U-S AUTHORITIES AS MOHAMED SADEEK ODEH AND MOHAMED RASHED DAOUD AL-OWHALI -- WERE FLOWN TO THE UNITED STATES WITHIN WEEKS OF THE AUGUST SEVENTH BOMBINGS IN NAIROBI AND DAR ES SALAAM. THE INDICTMENT CHARGES THAT THE MEN CONSPIRED TO BOMB THE EMBASSIES WITH EXPLOSIVES AND CAUSED THE DEATH OF MORE THAN 200 PEOPLE -- INCLUDING KENYAN, TANZANIAN AND AMERICAN CITIZENS -- AND INJURED MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND OTHERS. THE INDICTMENT SAYS MR. ODEH AND MR. AL-OWHALI ACTED TOGETHER WITH MEMBERS OF A GROUP IDENTIFIED AS "AL QAEDA," WHICH IT DESCRIBES AS A WORLDWIDE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION LED BY USAMA BIN LADEN, A SAUDI ARABIAN NATIONAL. PROSECUTORS SAY THE AIM OF THE GROUP IS THE KILLING OF AMERICAN MILITARY PERSONNEL STATIONED IN SAUDI ARABIA, YEMEN, SOMALIA AND ELSEWHERE AND THE KILLING OF AMERICAN CIVILIANS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE U-S PROSECUTOR IN NEW YORK, MARY JO WHITE, PRAISED THE GOVERNMENTS OF KENYA, TANZANIA AND THE COMOROS ISLANDS FOR COOPERATING WITH U-S INVESTIGATORS. SHE SAID THAT ALTHOUGH THE BOMBING ATTACKS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN AIMED AT UNITED STATES INTERESTS, IT WAS NOT ONLY THE LIVES OF AMERICANS WHICH WERE DESTROYED IN THE RUBBLE OF THE EMBASSIES. SHE ADDED THAT U-S AUTHORITIES INTEND TO VINDICATE EVERY PERSON WHO LOST THEIR LIFE OR THAT OF A LOVED ONE IN THE BOMBINGS. TODAY, SHE SAID, MARKS THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS OF BRINGING THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO JUSTICE.
