Whereas the missiles barely missed the aircraft which was 
filled with 264 passengers and crew members; 
Whereas on December 4, 2002, President George W. Bush 
stated in reference to the attacks that Al Qaeda was in-
volved in the bombings in Kenya; 
Whereas other terrorist organizations and networks cooper-
ated with Al Qaeda in carrying out these attacks; 
Whereas the terrorist attacks in Mombasa, Kenya, were part 
of a larger global campaign of terrorism by Al Qaeda to 
purposely target innocent civilians in the United States, 
Africa, Israel, and countries in other parts of the world; 
and 
Whereas other foreign-owned facilities in Kenya have been at-
tacked by terrorists in the past, including the United 
States Embassy in Nairobi in 1998 and the Norfolk 
Hotel in Nairobi in 1980: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

dle East and Africa and through opposing the glori-
fication of suicide bombers and other terrorists; and 
(4) urges the United States, Kenya, and Israel 
to stand united in the global war on terrorism that 
targets the civilized world and to work together to 
bring to justice the perpetrators of the terrorist at-
tacks in Mombasa, Kenya.
