It's been 17 long years of agony for embassy bomb victims

It is two weeks to Kenya’s 17th anniversary since Al Qaeda terrorists bombed the US embassy in Nairobi, killing 213 people, most of them Kenyans.

For thousands of victims maimed, widowed or orphaned by the 1998 attack, it has been close to two decades of utter agony. Their tireless quest for compensation has seen nearly every door they knock on slammed right on their faces. Many have fallen by the wayside, others have given up while some still hope someone will listen to them one day.
