Bin Laden and the Chemical Weapons Plant in Khartum

A barrage of 66 tomahawk crews missiles targeting alcidas camp ing coast afghanistan and a pharmaceutical plant thought to be manufacturing chemical weapons in khartum, was a spectacular failure on almost every level. Neither bin laden nor Iman alzawiheri were killed in the attacks. But they did succeed in two key respects: They kept clinton's personal dalliances from leading america's nightly news broadcasts for at least one news cycle. And they reinforced the importance of the new threat to global security, osama bin laden.
