Other FBI agents are interviewing hundreds of people who could help put a human face on the attacks. In Nairobi dozens of eyewitnesses and survivors have told their tales, but every one of the accounts differs on important points of detail. It was a lone bomber; there were three; there were four or five. It was a light pickup; it was a three-ton truck. It bore diplomatic license plates; it had no license plates.
