Carter even suspects WAGGING.

Washington Post - 09/19/98

ATLANTA (AP) -- Former President Jimmy Carter has called for an investigation into whether a Sudanese factory destroyed by U.S. missiles last month actually manufactured possible chemical weapons materials.

A technical team should visit Khartoum to inspect the plant and to take samples of soil and building materials, Carter said in a statement Thursday.

''If the evidence shows that the Sudanese are guilty, they should be condemned for lying and for contributing to terrorist activities,'' Carter said. ''Otherwise, we should admit our error and make amends to those who have suffered loss or injury.''

Sudan insists the factory was only making medicines, but the United States has said it was also making a precursor for the deadly VX nerve gas, possibly with assistance from Iraq.

Cruise missiles destroyed the factory in retaliation for the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. The bombings killed 258 people and wounded thousands.

''The credibility of our nation in international circles is being adversely affected by these doubts,'' Carter said, noting that officials in Britain and Germany have questioned U.S. claims about the factory's purpose.
