Yemen Hotel Bombings
12/29/1992 AD attacked
The first attack by Al-Qaeda was carried out: A bomb went off at the Gold Mohur hotel, where U.S. troops had been staying while en route to Somalia, though the troops had already left when the bomb exploded.
The bombers targeted a second hotel, the Aden Movenpick, where they believed American troops might also be staying. That bomb detonated prematurely in the hotel car park, around the same time as the other bomb explosion, killing an Austrian tourist and a Yemeni citizen.
Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the attack in 1998.
