He detonated the bomb in Tanzania, killing himself and 11 other people. In the 1998 indictment [http://cns.miis.edu/pubs/reports/pdfs/binladen/indict.pdf Copy of indictment] USA v. Usama bin Laden et al., Center for Nonproliferation Studies, Monterey Institute of International Studies] he is identified only as Ahmed the German.
