TM --- News ... Clinton orders strike on terrorist targets Last Update: 2:11 PM ET Aug 20, 1998 EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) -- President Clinton said Thursday he had ordered U.S. armed forces to strike at "terrorist facilities" in Afghanistan and Sudan in retaliation for the embassy bombings in Africa. Clinton said he ordered the attacks because "we have compelling information they were planning additional terrorist acts." "Today we have struck back," the president declared. The president said the U.S. struck a terrorist base in Afghanistan and a chemical weapons facility in Sudan. "We have convincing evidence these groups played the key role in the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania," Clinton said. "Terrorists must have no doubt that in the face of their threat, America will protect its citizens." Clinton made his remarks before cutting short a family vacation on Martha's Vineyard to return to Washington. Clinton said the groups that were struck were affiliated with Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire whom U.S. officials call a major sponsor of terrorism. A group reportedly founded by bin Laden - the World Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders - issued a warning Wednesday in the London-based Arabic newspaper al-Hayat saying that "strikes will continue from everywhere" against the United States. FBI Director Louis Freeh was in Africa with agents investigating the bombings. Two bombs exploded Aug. 7 at the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, killing 247 people in Kenya and 10 in Tanzania. More than 5,500 people were injured, mostly Kenyans.
