Resolution 1425 (2002)
Adopted by the Security Council at its 4580th meeting,
on 22 July 2002
The Security Council,
Reaffirming its previous resolutions concerning the situation in Somalia, in particular on the weapon and military equipment embargo established by paragraph 5 of resolution 733 (1992) of 23 January 1992 (hereinafter referred to as the "arms embargo"), resolution 1407 (2002) of 3 May 2002, and the statement of its President of 28 March 2002 (S/PRST/2002/8),
Noting with serious concern the continued flow of weapons and ammunition supplies to and through Somalia from sources outside the country, in contravention of the arms embargo, which is severely undermining peace and security and the political efforts for national reconciliation in Somalia,
Reiterating its call on all States and other actors to comply scrupulously with the arms embargo, and its insistence that all States, in particular those of the region, should not interfere in the internal affairs of Somalia. Such interference only further destabilizes Somalia, contributes to a climate of fear and impacts adversely on human rights, and could jeopardize the sovereignty, territorial integrity, political independence and unity of Somalia,

Now look at the dates of other attacks...
July 17: Annual celebration of 1969 Ba'athist takeover of Iraq.
July 17, 1990: Iraqi President Saddam Hussein launches attack on Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), charging they had conspired with the United States to depress world oil prices through overproduction. (the official beginning on the "Mother of all Wars" and prelude to the August 2 invasion of Kuwait).
July 17, 1996: TWA Flight 800 "bombing" (according to George Stephanopoulos) kills 230 passengers.
June 25, 1961: Iraq announces Kuwait is part of Iraq (Kuwait disagrees).
June 25, 1993: U.S. launches cruise missile strikes against Iraqi intelligence for the attempted assassination of President George H.W. Bush in Kuwait City (and, unofficially, for the February WTC attack).
June 25, 1999: Fuel truck-bomb explodes outside the Khobar Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia killing 19 USAF military personnel and wounding 515 persons, including 240 U.S. personnel.
August 7, 1990: Operation Desert Shield begins, in response to the August 2 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait.
August 7, 1998: Two car bombs explode at the American Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 224 people and wounding more than 5,000 others.
And
October 12, 1990: U.S. supports U.N. Security Coucil Resolution 672, a condemnation of Israel's attacks on the Al Aqsa Mosque that killed 19 palestinians. This is viewed by Saddam as U.S. duplicity at its worst, and a transparent attempt by America to appeal to the Arab street's sensibilities in order to keep the coalition together and remove Hussein from power. Hussein takes it personally, as his diversionary tactics in escalating the Arab/Israeli conflict are proven fruitless.
October 12, 2000: U.S.S. Cole bombing in Yemen kills 17 U.S. servicemen.
