Revealed: How US intelligence slept on the job

By 1994, the US intelligence had identified a naturalised US citizen named Wadih El-Hage as the Nairobi terror cell "On-site" manager. El-Hage, described as an accountant, had worked for one of Osama Bin Laden's companies in Sudan and had relocated to Nairobi where he had been tasked with building the lattices of a terror network.

El-Hage, according to the new book titled "Tyranny of Consensus" that provides new information on the 1998 US Embassy bombings in East Africa, had set up a charitable organisation named Al-Haramain, which was believed to be a cover for funneling money from Bin Laden to Islamists groups.
