On June 25 in the year of 1996, 19 American servicemen killed and hundreds of civilians and soldiers injured, were the number of casualties in a terrorist attack in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The American victims were soldiers that were living in the Khobar Towers in this port city, in this incident a truck was left in the front of one of the buildings, some soldiers watched that but they didn't have time to do something about it.
This truck exploded tearing the building down, and having too many victims. The arms of this truck were like 500 plastic explosives, that made it explode. Just minutes before the attack some soldiers that were in the roof watched two persons leaving a truck in front of the building and running, but they couldn't do anything to save their and other soldiers lifes.
This was the second attack in that country in the same year, and this attack was now caused because some Saudi Arabians were made against the US because of the influence that they had in this country.
