US embassy bombing suspect freed
A Tanzanian court has acquitted and released a man charged over the 1998 US embassy bombing in Dar es Salaam.

The judge said there were too many doubts to convict Rashid Sweleh Hemed, after a trial lasting several years.

Eleven people died in the Tanzania attack. Another blast the same day at the US embassy in the Kenyan capital Nairobi killed a further 213 people.

The 34-year-old businessman had 11 counts of murder reduced to conspiracy charges during the course of the trial.
