The bin Laden trial: what did we learn?

Article Abstract:

This article examines the trial of four members of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network for the 1998 bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania; the trial was the result of the largest US overseas investigation and involved thousands of pages of documents and testimony of witnesses with knowledge of this organization. The author suggests that the US learned, through the trial, that the group suffered cash flow problems during the mid-1990s, the US was successful at finding informants within the network, bin Laden has made efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction, training of his followers in Afghanistan is vigorous and includes terrorist tactics and the use of weapons and explosives, and draws its followers from four continents; law enforcement approaches to counter bin Laden are suggested.
