A US federal court has accused two Egyptians who were arrested last Sunday in London of having collaborated with Osama Bin Laden in the two explosions that took place in August 1998 and targeted the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

AFP, said that the US judiciary accused Abdul Hadi al-Ein Rous and Adel Abdel Megeed Abdel-Bary of collaborating with Osama Bin Laden in killing American citizens before and after August 1998.

The Bow Street Magistrates Court in London has addressed the same accusations on Tuesday to the two men after they were arrested last Sunday by British security forces at the request of the US authorities.

A spokesman for the Attorney General in Manhattan, Mary Joe White, has announced that according to the agreements signed between Britain and the US, the US has a grace period of 60 days to ask for handing over the two accused men.

Lawyer Arfender Sambi, who represented the US government before the court in London announced that the fingerprints of Abdel-Bary and Eid Rous were found on two faxes which claimed responsibility for the two attacks in Kenya and Tanzania, for which the US authorities claim Bin Laden is responsible.
