The Enemies Of America And Of Democracy Will Strike At Any Time And Anywhere

American Jewish Committee
Thursday, 7 August 1997

The American Jewish Committee deplores the twin bombings on the U.S. embassies in the capital cities of Kenya and Tanzania which have left dozens dead and hundreds wounded, including Americans. We mourn with the people of Africa and stand in solidarity with all those families who have lost loved ones to another bloody, revengeful, and barbaric act.

Although considered "unlikely" sites for such terrorist attacks, we should not be surprised that the enemies of America and of democracy can and will strike at any time and anywhere to drive home their deadly message. America must be ever-vigilant in its fight against terrorism around the world. It can strike oceans away; it can strike in our own backyard.

While no groups or individuals have yet claimed responsibility for this carnage, we trust that local law enforcement and government officials will provide full cooperation to appropriate American agencies in order to ensure that those responsible are apprehended and brought to sure justice.
