1996: Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia kills nineteen U.S. airmen

Quote Of The Day
"In our squadron, we lost twelve guys. That was a very emotional event, and something that will always be a part of who I am. Because of this horrific act of terrorism at Khobar Towers, nineteen bright and talented individuals can never be replaced. These memories forever remind me that stakes are high and the sacrifice is real when we step up to the plate and serve our country."
(General Jeff Harrigan, U.S.A.F.-A.F.A.F.R.I.C.A commander)

Out for an early morning 22km run before the heat of the day sets in; already a relatively mild 29 degrees by the time I reached home at 09:30. I imagine we'll be seeing temperatures up in the high thirties/low forties pretty soon.

How long until we see a Khobar Towers II do you think?
