DAR ES SALAAM, Tomzawie
A Tanzanian and an Egyptian escorted into a
courtroom under heavy guard were charged Mon
day with murder in connection with the U.B. Em
| bassy bombing in Tanzania. If convicted, they would
be hanged.
Egyptian Mustafa Mahmoud Said Ahmed and
| Tanzanian Rashid Saleh Hemed each were charged
with 11 counts of murder. The Aug. 7 bombing killed
11 people, all Africans. Resident Magistrate Amiri
Maneto said no bail was allowed. A trial date will be
set Oct. 5.
| Police and soldiers stood guard while the two men
arrived at the courthouse, in the center of Dar es
‘ Salaam.
Three FBI agents also were present at the hear
ing.
Although no details were released in court, local
media said traces of chemicals that could have been
used to make the bomb had been found in Saleh’s
home and car. Police, the reports said, also were ‘
| seeking two unidentified men who had visited Saleh
! often before the bombing. |
l No information was available on why charges
were filed against Ahmed, who authorities said also
is known as Said Ahmed and Saleh Aben Alahales.
i Ahmed told the court he couldn’t understand why
' he was charged because he was not even in Dar es
Salaam on the day of the bombing. He said he was
in the northern Tanzanian town of Arusha.
Ahmed, a heavyset and bearded man, wore glasses,
a gray T-shirt and faded slacks. Saleh, slender and
bearded, did not make a statement. He is a native
' of the Zanzibar, an island off Tanzania.
A nearly simultaneous bombing at the U.S. Em
i bassy in neighboring Kenya, killed 248 people.
