January 1999 CE
On January 11, 1999, Time and Newsweek publish the interviews with Osama bin Laden conducted two weeks earlier.
Five days later, the US Attorney General's office files its most complete indictment to date of Osama bin Laden and 11 other suspected members of his terrorist organization.
In the indictment delivered by the grand jury, the first count-conspiracy to kill US Nationals-charges that several of the co-defendants, acted with other members of "al Qaeda," characterized as a worldwide terrorist organization led by bin Laden, in a conspiracy to murder American citizens.
The objectives of the terrorist group allegedly include: killing members of the American military stationed in Saudi Arabia and Somalia; killing United States embassy employees in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and concealing the activities of the co-conspirators by, among other things, establishing front companies, providing false identity and travel documents, engaging in coded correspondence, and providing false information to the authorities in various countries.
