About this listen

 Operation Southern Watch was a military operation conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense from August 1992 to March 2003. United States Central Command's Joint Task Force Southwest Asia had the mission of monitoring and controlling the airspace south of the 32nd Parallell and 33rd Parallell in southern and south-central Iraq during the period following the end of the 1991 Gulf War until the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The Khobar Towers bombing was a terrorist attack that occurred on June 25, 1996, in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. A truck bomb detonated near the Khobar Towers housing complex. The bomb killed 19 U.S. service members and injured over 400 more. The complex housed coalition forces, primarily U.S. Air Force personnel involved in Operation Southern Watch. The bomb was detonated adjacent to Building #131, an eight-story structure housing members of the U.S. Air Force's 4404th Wing (Provisional).
