From the Paper:

"Because of the type of attacks and the ferocity, it was immediately felt that this was the result of Palestinian terrorist groups. The Palestinians oftentimes mount suicide missions although there had been none this large to date. Several other countries were eliminated as possible suspects for different reasons. Many experts feel that Libya has no desire to attempt such an attack (Gibbs 32) and "Iraq's Saddam Hussein has always favored loud, brutish force over quiet finesse" (Gibbs 32). The most likely force behind these well-organized and brutal attacks is Osama bin Laden, whose attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were similar."
