The United States responds to the embassy…

The United States responds to the embassy bombings and intelligence reports of other imminent attacks by launching seventy-five cruise missiles against two targets: Osama bin Laden's training camp in Afghanistan and a suspected chemical weapons plant, Al Shifa, in Khartoum, Sudan, on August 21.

US intelligence claims that Al Shifa is tied to the production of chemical weapons for bin Laden, claims that the Sudanese government vehemently denies.

The Al Shifa factory is indeed solely a pharmaceutical production facility, as later evidence will establish.
