Equipped with a pistol and four stunt grenades, Mohamed al Owhali’s role in the attack was to overcome the embassy guard, to divert the attention and to pave the way for the car bomb, driven by Azzam, into the US embassy yard in Nairobi. He escaped the attack lightly wounded.

In his interrogation Mohamed al Owhali admitted his role in the 08/07/1998 attack, revealed the chain of command from the top operatives of Al-Qaeda to the perpetrators of the attack and the communication system of Al-Qaeda, including the use of satellite phone.
