Mombasa bombing suspects cleared (blamed on Al-Qaida)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4625675.stm

"A Kenyan judge has acquitted three men accused of conspiracy in the case of the 2002 suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombasa.
Nairobi Chief Magistrate Aggrey Muchelule said prosecutors had failed to connect the men to the bombing."
~snip~
The attacks were widely blamed on al-Qaeda. No-one has been convicted in connection with the bombing so far, and no-one else is due to stand trial.
~snip~
Critics have said the men should never have been charged in the first place and that the evidence presented was at best circumstantial."

Another trial in a case blamed on the mythical Al-Qaida collapses on lack of evidence.

1. Has anyone in Al-Qaida ever been convicted of anything?
Does Al-Qaida even exist? :shrug:

2. I honestly believe if it were held in America they'd be executed by
now. With the help of a Michael Jackson/Skakel type prosecutor and the SECRET COURT, the Christian Leaders (Falwell, Robertson, Graham, Reed), American Media Whores, FOX Network, and the Bush Crime Family.

3. I' am shocked! (NOT) Look how many convictions we have had in the
USA. Maybe if we looked for the real source of terrorism we might have some luck.
