"OT" NEWS: Amerian Embasy BOMBED!! Kenya, Tanzania Bombs Kill 67 More than 1,100 Injured By CHEGE MBITIRU .c The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya (Aug. 7) - Terrorist bombs exploded minutes apart outside the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania today, turning buildings into mountains of shattered concrete and leaving burning hulks of buses and cars. More than 67 people were killed and 1,100 injured, officials said. At least eight Americans were among the dead in Kenya and a ninth was missing and presumed dead, U.S. Embassy spokesman Chris Scharf said. In the Kenyan capital, crowds crawled over the twisted and broken concrete and metal from a collapsed building looking for victims, calling out and waving their arms for help to pull bodies from the wreckage and free trapped people crying for help. ''Once the rubble is cleared further we expect to find more,'' said Red Cross spokeswoman Nina Galbe. Another Red Cross worker who refused to give his name added: ''There are too many dead to count.'' More than 60 people were killed and 1,100 injured in Nairobi alone, Galbe said. Officials said at least another seven people were killed and 72 hurt when a car bomb exploded outside the U.S. Embassy in the Tanzanian capital of Dar es Salaam. In Washington, President Clinton said ''these acts of terrorist violence are abhorrent, they are inhumane,'' and pledged to track down those responsible. He ordered American flags flown at half staff at U.S. installations around the world. ''There was no warning and there has been no claim of responsibility,'' said State Department spokesman Lee McClenny. The Islamic Jihad, a successor to the group that assassinated Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, vowed last week to strike American interests because some of its members were arrested in Albania and handed over to Egypt, according to a report Thursday in Al-Hayat, an Arabic-language newspaper in London. Police in Nairobi were seen taking an Arabic-speaking man into custody, but authorities made no immediate comment. The state-owned Kenya Broadcasting Corp. reported police suspected a van loaded with explosives and parked behind the embassy caused the blast. The explosion in Nairobi at 10:35 a.m. (3:35 a.m. EDT) toppled the four-story Ufundi Cooperative building toward the embassy, which was badly damaged. Cooperative Bank House, with government and private offices, also was damaged. Windows were shattered as far as 10 blocks away. ''There was a huge blast and everything was flying. It was all confusion,'' said witness Pastor Wachira. Bodies were draped out of the windows of a charred bus, and shattered cars were left smoldering on the street amid the debris. Dazed and bloody survivors lay on the ground until they were led away. Passersby helped rescuers, and ferried the injured to hospitals in their own cars. P.J. Crowley, spokesman for the National Security Adviser, said U.S. officials are identifying the dead Americans and notifying relatives. The Air Force has requested that a C-141 transport leave Ramstein Air Base in Germany for Nairobi. It will carry a surgical team, medical supplies and a small security detail. An Air Force C-9 medical transport will be sent separately to Tanzania, said Pentagon spokeswoman Col. Nancy Burt. She said a 40-strong marine Corps anti-terrorism security team was also on its way to Africa. Because U.S. law provides criminal penalties for terrorist attacks on Americans abroad, the FBI was preparing to send whatever resources were necessary to investigate, the Justice Department said. In Dar es Salaam, the car bomb went off in the U.S. Embassy parking lot. The State Department said the blasts occurred within five minutes of each other in the capitals, roughly 450 miles apart. It said no Americans appeared to be among the dead in Dar es Salaam, but three Tanzanian guards and two other Tanzanian embassy employees were killed.

********** TO ALL - MUST READ ********** I just got off the telephone from talking to someone (actually, I talked to two people) from Island Gaming. ("Islandgaming.net" is the website address (not yet active) for Island Sports Book and Casino.) The telephone number I called was from the GLOW press release (1-877-426-9100). I called that number this morning and it was not active, obviously it is now. I asked the people if they were open to take bets and I was told that they would be ready by the end of next week. The people I talked to were in the Dominica (one woman had a heavy "Caribbean" accent). It appears that things are progressing nicely. I am starting to get a bit excited about the possibilities for next week. Good luck to all. -Dave
