President Bush states that the suicide nature of the terrorist attacks in Kenya indicates that these attacks were the work of the al-Qaeda network. Sixteen people, including the attackers themselves, were killed in these attacks. Kenyan police report that three others have been arrested for questioning regarding two terrorist attacks last week in the city of Mombasa. The police stated today that two Kenyan men were arrested in connection with an unsuccessful missile launch aimed at downing an Israeli passenger plane. The third man arrested claims he rented a car last month, which is believed to have been used in the suicide attack on a hotel owned by Israelis, known as the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa. In that terrorist explosion, ten Kenyans and three Israelis, as well as the attackers, were killed. Six Pakistanis and four Somalis had previously been arrested in connection with these attacks.
