Sudan Wants Probe of U.S.' 1998 Cruise Missile Attack on Khartoum
The Sudan Tribune reported August 22, 2005 that, "The government of Sudan reiterated a call for a United Nations probe into" the August 20, 1998, U.S. cruise missile strikes [on Sudan ] that destroyed "the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory on suspicion that it was involved in producing chemical weapons and had links with Al-Qaeda supremo Osama bin Laden, who had lived in Sudan until two years earlier."
The strikes were in retaliation for Al-Qaida's August 7, 1998 truck bomb attack on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Here's the Sudan Tribune article.
