US Presidents Trivia: Which of these terrorist attacks did not occur during Bill Clinton's Presidency?

This will hopefully be a very big week for Pocket Protector Games, as we are hoping that our next trivia game, Movies Trivia, will be available by the end of the week - and Music Trivia shouldn't be far behind!  As you can imagine, we are very excited about all of the new offerings we are hoping to bring to your shortly!

Anyway, as for today's question.  Terrorism has seen a dramatic rise in the past twenty of so years, particularly terrorism aimed at the United States.  Bill Clinton's Presidency saw some very significant terrorist attacks, both on American soil and abroad.  So, off of Pocket Trivia:  US Presidents - Which of these terrorist attacks did not occur during Bill Clinton's administration?  Is it the Oklahoma City Bombing, the World Trade Center Bombing, the Embassy bombings in Tanzania & Kenya or the Beirut Marine Barracks Bombings?

The correct answer is the Beirut Marine Barracks Bombings.  The other three occurred during Clinton's Presidency - the first attacks on the World Trade Center were in 1993, Oklahoma City in 1995 and Tanzania/Kenya in 1998.

The Beirut Marine Barracks Bombings occurred in 1983, when Ronald Reagan was President.  During this attack, two suicide bombers simultaneously detonated two truck bombs at a multinational barracks where American and French troops were staying.  241 Americans were killed.
