TANZANIA has deported an Egyptian arrested on suspicion of involvement in bombing the US embassy here in 1998, after the state dropped charges against him. Tanzania’s director of criminal investigations Adadi Rajabu said Mustafa Mohamed Said Ahmed, 44, left the country on Sunday. Ahmed and a Tanzanian, Rashid Saleh Hemed, were jointly charged with the murder of 11 people who died in the bombing on August 7, 1998. A magistrate’s court set Ahmed free on Thursday after the prosecution dropped charges against him. The car-bomb blast in Dar es Salaam on August 7 last year killed 11 Tanzanians and wounded more than 70 other people. A virtually simultaneous car-bomb at the US embassy in Nairobi killed 213 people, 12 of them Americans, and wounded some 5000 others.
