Hamden Khalif Allah Awad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamden Khalif Allah Awad alias Ahmed the German (actually Egyptian) (Aug. 13, 1970 - Aug. 7, 1998)[1] was one of the perpetrators of the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. He detonated the bomb in Tanzania, killing himself and 11 other people. In the 1998 indictment[2] he is identified only as Ahmed the German. His real identity emerged later, from telephone calls made during this al-Qaeda conspiracy[3].
