More Raids In Nairobi
FBI agents are conducting raids in their continuing drive to solve the two-week-old terrorist bombings. There was one raid Wednesday on a Nairobi hotel and another Thursday on a residential home in a suburb of Nairobi.
While investigators won't say what's driving these raids, at least part of their information is coming from a suspect they've been questioning for the last week. CBS News has learned from sources in Nairobi that Mohammad Saddiq Odeh has confessed his part in the bombing to FBI investigators and has named accomplices.
Odeh also has admitted to being an associate of Osama bin Laden and says he was trying to get back to Afghanistan when he was arrested.
Investigators have taken away boxes and boxes of potential, but they are not saying exactly what is in them.
FBI Director Louis Freeh toured the bombed-out U.S. embassy in Tanzania Thursday and met with FBI agents and local officials investigating the attack.
Freeh told reporters, "We haven't made any conclusions that anybody being held here is connected at this point to the bombing. But we do want to continue to work with our colleagues here to interview not just those individuals but other individuals who may have information."
Two bombs exploded Aug. 7 at the embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing a total of 257 people and wounding more than 5,500.
In Tanzania, two people remain in custody in the bombing investigation, but Home Affairs Minister Ali Ameir Mohammed would not give their names or nationalities.
