Khobar Towers Memorial

On June 25, 1996, a bomb was detonated near the Khobar Towers Housing Complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Nineteen Airmen were killed and more than 500 U.S. and international military and civilians were injured in the blast. Of the 19 killed, 12 were Nomads. Each year, the 33rd Fighter Wing holds a ceremony in remembrance of that day. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Peter Thompson)
