The 1992 Yemen hotel bombings were a series of terrorist bomb attacks carried out by the group Al-Qaeda on December 29, 1992, that were intended to kill United States Marines in Aden, Yemen. It is considered to be the first attack on the United States by Al-Qaeda, though the objective was unsuccessful. ==Attacks== On December 29, 1992, the terrorist group Al-Qaeda detonated a bomb at the Gold Mohur Hotel in Aden, Yemen, where United States Marine Corps would be staying while on their way to Somalia to participate in Operation Restore Hope. This is considered to be the first attack on the United States by Al-Qaeda, though the objective was unsuccessful, as the troops had already left before the bomb was detonated, but an Austrian tourist and a hotel employee were killed and four Austrian tourists were injured. A second bomb detonated prematurely at the Aden Mövenpick Hotel, where other United States Marines had also been staying, and three people were injured, none of whom were Americans.〔Edward F. Mickolus and Susan L. Simmons, ''Terrorism, 1992-1995: A Chronology of Events and A Selectively Annotated Bibliography (Bibliographies and Indexes in Military Studies'' (Westport, Conn): Greenwood Press, 1997), 250.〕 At the time, the bombings did not give the United States cause for concern because no Americans had died.〔Michael Scheuer, ''Through Our Enemies' Eyes: Osama bin Laden, Radical Islam, and the Future of America, Revised Edition'' (Dulles, VA: Potomac Books, 2006), p. 147.〕 In April 1993, intelligence believed that bin Laden had a role in the attacks.〔Peter Bergen, ''Holy War, Inc.'' (New York: Free Press, 2001), 176.〕 Immediately after the bombings, the US announced the withdrawal of troops from Yemen, the place it was using to support operations in Somalia.〔
