Well, that's news, that Mahfouz was the real owner of the aspirin factory. Maybe there's something in Poincare's theory that the factory was attacked so the owners could collect insurance proceeds.

Thanks for the flag and for remembering.

But let me clarify. It was not so much a theory of mine own brain but a comment that I had picked up from an Albanian businessman who had recently lived in Khartoum. He told me that the aspirin factory was unprofitable and uninsurable. He said that it was bombed so that the owners would get reparations from the US taxpayers. I thought that was far fetched and I stored it away in memory until I heard that Vernon Jordan represented the owners.

The Clinton connection makes it possible. I also remember that Louis Freeh was pissed off that Clinton let the bombs fly while Freeh was in the neighborhood investigating the embassy bombings. It cut short the investigation.

Bin Laden and Clinton couldn't have been serving each others needs could they?
