The Gold Mohur Hotel (/ˈmɔːr/) is a resort hotel in Aden, Yemen.
1992 bombing
On 29 December 1992, the militant organization al-Qaeda, led by Osama bin Laden, conducted its first known terrorist bombings, targeting the Gold Mohur and the Mövenpick Hotel in Aden. The hotels were targeted because U.S. troops had been staying at them while en route to Somalia to participate in Operation Restore Hope. A Yemeni hotel worker and an Austrian tourist died at the Gold Mohur.[1][2]
