SUBJECT:  Saddam Hussein & Islamic Radicals Responsible For Bombing 

OPEN LETTER TO:  President Clinton and
                 Secretary of State Madeleine Albright

Please inform Secretary of State Madeleine Albright that I know 
who is ultimately responsible for bombing our embassies in east 
Africa.  Also please tell the Department of State that the only 
$2-million reward America should give for locating those 
responsible for these bombings is a smart bomb up their ass!

By using a little deductive reasoning and analytical thought to 
profile the bombers, I can tell you right now who the bombers 
were.  Those responsible for bombing our embassies were 
professional terrorists.  They knew how to design and build 
sophisticated car bombs which indicates that they had a high 
degree of military training.  They had access to all the 
materials necessary for making a car bomb in duplicate and in 
fact may have made more than two such bombs to hold one in 
reserve.

That the embassy bombers were professional and state sponsored is 
also indicated by the coordinated timing of the two attacks, 
something which has never occurred before in embassy bombings.  
Also the timing of the explosions is of extreme significance as 
you should realize it coincided with Saddam Hussein's refusal to 
comply with future U.N. weapons inspections and therefore points 
directly at Saddam Hussein.  Moreover the one responsible for 
these bombings had the motive of a radical Islamic fundamentalist 
and selected sites not as likely to injure other allied Muslims, 
as say bombing embassies in north Africa or the mideast would do.

These professional terrorists were sponsored by nations, groups 
and assoications which offer them support and refuge.  Their 
purpose is to wage a holy war against America and disrupt 
business as usual by bombing our embassies.  They want no more 
then to destroy the foundations of freedom and democracy around 
the world by striking at our embassies.

We should not reward members of such groups or nations $2-million 
in cash for pointing a finger at fellow terrorists.  Rather we 
should use our intelligence agencies, allies, remote sensing 
satellites and citizen insight to identify and locate the 
terrorists, their hideouts, camps and training centers, and then 
blow them off the face of the earth!

If we pay a reward to one group or terrorist, their families, 
relations or associates, for turning in other terrorists we do 
nothing but breed terrorism.  If you want to give that $2-million 
to anyone, give it to me, an American citizen, for pointing you 
in the right direction! Saddam Hussein and the underground 
network of terrorists his regime sponsors, supports and inspires 
are the persons ultimately responsible for our embassy bombing.  
Take them out with a smart bomb and it will be a long time before 
you see another embassy bombing!

Sincerely, Terry Lynch 
Montgomery, AL 
 


ADDENDUM:  This letter was sent to the President of the United
States on Aug. 11, 1998.  On Aug. 20th U.S. bombed terrorist camps
of Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan and a chemical weapons factory
in Khartoum, Sudan.
