A brutal and cowardly terrorist attack on a multi-national peacekeeping
force in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia left 19 dead and hundreds injured. These
peacekeepers were enforcing United Nations sanctions and the dead and
injured represent citizens from several nations. Peace in our time can
only be assured in a world free from terrorism and the loss of innocent
lives.
The United States Government will pay for information leading to the
arrest or conviction, in any country, of those persons committing acts
of terrorism against U.S. citizens, military or civilian. A reward of
up to $2 million will be paid to any person who furnishes such information.
The U.S. Government will also provide for the protection of identity and
the possibility of relocation for persons and their families who contribute
such information.
Persons wishing to report information about the bombing of the Khobar
Towers facility, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia; other terrorist attacks; or the
planning of future terrorist attacks; should contact the authorities or
the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. In the U.S., contact the Federal
Bureau of Investigation or call Diplomatic Security at 1-800-HEROES-1.
