Just under a week after the horrific bombings in East Africa, the
bodies of ten Americans killed in the embassy attacks finally arrived
home.
The President was at Andrews Air Force Base to lead the country
in mourning.
Meantime, investigators say they're making progress in
identifying the vehicle that carried the bomb into the U-S Embassy
in Kenya.
There is also word that five people are being questioned in connection with that explosion.
Jonathan Freed joins us from Andrews with the latest.

It is, perhaps, one of the most difficult responsibilities for any
President: leading a nation in grieving its fallen heroes.
The President and the First Lady arrived at Andrews AFB this morning to
do just that.
Six days after the explosions in Kenya and Tanzania that shocked the
world...the bodies of ten of the 12 Americans killed in the embassy
attacks were arriving home.
The President and Mrs. Clinton headed into a hangar at Andrews AFB to
comfort the victims' families, and to try to help the country deal with
its collective sense of loss.
(SOT, CLINTON)
The memorial ceremony was set against the backdrop of encouraging words
from American investigators.
The F-B-I is sounding more confident that it's zeroing in on the vehicle
that delivered the deadly bomb in Kenya.
(SOT, SHEILA HORAN, FBI)
And a number of people were being detained in Kenya. U-S authorities
say at least two of them may have had something to do with the terrorist
attacks.
But there was more frustrating news. The State Department has confirmed
that the U-S ambassador to Kenya, Prudence Bushnell...who was injured in
the attack...complained last year that security at the Nairobi embassy
needed urgent improvement.
The State Department admitted that money problems meant that not all
requests could be met.
SOUND-UP: CEREMONY.
But this morning, it was time to focus on the latest Americans who gave
their lives for their country.
