Kenyan authorities have released images of two men suspected in connection with last month's terrorist attacks targeting Israeli interests near Mombasa. The images of the two suspects, who are said to resemble Arabs, were created using computer graphics. The Kenyan police have offered a reward of approximately $63,000 for information leading to the arrest of the two suspects. It is believed that they were involved in an attempt to shoot down an Israeli passenger plane with a missile on November 28. Minutes after that failed attempt, three suicide bombers entered a hotel owned by Israelis in a vehicle and detonated themselves, killing thirteen others along with themselves. The terrorist network al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for these attacks.
