- TRANSCRIPT: STATE DEPT. NOON BRIEFING, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1996 --- At Khobar there was a 100-foot setback. Frankly, nobody anticipated a 5000-pound bomb filled with TNT. Now that has happened, and we need to plan for it, and Secretary Perry ordered over the weekend the extension of that perimeter 400 feet, which was the correct move.
- DOD News Briefing Tuesday, July 2, 1996 - Saudi Arabia up until November of 1995 had never experienced any kind of bombing whatsoever. And when it did experience a bombing, it experienced one which was a car bomb and one which was of a magnitude of two to three-hundred pounds of explosives. What occurred here was entirely different from the, what I would characterize as a kind of a terrorist environment that existed in Beirut some years ago.

- Secretary of Defense William J. Perry DOD News Briefing Wednesday, July 17, 1996 -- The Force Protection initiative identifies potential threat to our forces, particularly in our Central Command, and in several of countries in the European Command -- Bosnia and Turkey for example.

bombs in the 10 to 20 thousand pound category; mortar attacks.
