In re Terrorist Bombings of U.S. Embassies in East Africa (Fourth Amendment Challenges)

After identifying suspected al Qaeda phone lines in Kenya, including two used by U.S. citizen Wadih El-Hage (defendant), American officials obtained Attorney General authorization for targeted surveillance, renewed twice, and later searched El-Hage's Nairobi home with Kenyan officials' cooperation using a Kenyan warrant, without seeking any U.S. court warrant; El-Hage was later convicted for his role in the 1998 African embassy bombings and moved to suppress the evidence as illegally obtained.
