Does this qualify as a joke? Tuesday, September 1, 1998 Sudan Attack Claims Faulty, U.S. Admits By PAUL RICHTER, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON--With some close allies voicing deepening doubts, U.S. officials acknowledged Monday that they erred in their original explanation of how they picked a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan to be destroyed by cruise missiles on Aug. 20. Officials said they were unaware when Tomahawk missiles were fired at the Shifa Pharmaceutical plant in the Sudanese capital that the facility produced human and veterinary medicines for the impoverished nation. And they conceded that Clinton administration officials initially overstated evidence that suspected terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden held a financial stake in the facility. Even so, officials insisted that the complex in northern Khartoum was a legitimate target. And they stood behind their assertions that a single soil sample secretly collected from just outside the facility was sufficient proof that the factory was used to manufacture the deadly nerve gas VX.
