SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

At a State Department ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Rice said Thursday the events can now be viewed in a different light.

"On that dark day 10 years ago the bombings of our embassies seemed merely to be the senseless violence of evil men, an organization called al-Qaida", Rice said. "When seen from today, however, 10 years later, after the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, the attack on the Khobar Towers in 1996, the attack on the USS Cole in 2000 and, of course, the terror of Sept. 11, we now see those bombings of our embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in a new light. We see them as they were, as the opening of a new twilight struggle between hope and fear, peace and hatred, freedom and tyranny, a struggle that has now finally fully been joined."

Some 218 Kenyans were killed in the Nairobi blast and thousands more injured; in Dar es Salaam, two people were killed and 85 injured.

"Ten years ago, al-Qaida may have destroyed two embassies but they did not destroy the ties that bind the American, Kenyan and Tanzanian people", Rice said. "They did not destroy our spirit.
