U.S. concludes Hizbullah behind Khobar attack

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has concluded that the
Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah was behind the 1996 Islamic bombing of a
U.S.  military barracks in Saudi Arabia. 

A federal indictment unsealed in U.S.  District Court in Alexandria, Va. 
listed Hizbullah as the organization that sponsor the bombing of the
barracks in the Saudi city of Khobar.  Nineteen servicemen were killed
in the blast. 

Moreover, the indictment said the Khobar plot was discovered three
months before the actual bombing when Saudi border guards seized about
40 kilograms of explosives. 

The indictment, the most specific ever on a Hizbullah attack, was issued
as the Bush administration is being pressed to widen its war against
terrorism to Hizbullah and its Palestinian allies.  Members of Congress
have called for an investigation between Hizbullah and attacks on U.S. 
installations in the Middle East. 

On Wednesday, President George Bush released what he termed the 22 top
terrorists in the world.  Three of the terrorists are members of the
Hizbullah. 

The 29-page indictment alleges that the plot to bomb the U.S.  facility
in Khobar was formed by Shi'ites in a Damascus mosque.  Three Saudi
nationals of Shi'ite extraction were recruited by Hizbullah as early as
1991 to carry out the bombing five years later.  The operation was
financed by Iran.
