Anderson (right), Commander of the Joint Task Force, South West Asia, take questions about Khobar Towers from reporters during a press conference in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, on June 28, 1996. The explosion of a fuel truck set off by terrorists at 2:55 p.m. EDT, Tuesday, June 25, 1996, outside the northern fence of the Khobar Towers complex near King Abdul Aziz Air Base, killed 19 and injured over 260. The facility housed U.S. service members and served as the headquarters for the 4404th Wing. U.S. and Saudi law enforcement and military personnel are combing through the blast area searching for clues to the identity of the terrorists.
