For what it's worth, the Spanish daily El Mundo, not exactly suspicious
of rampant pro-yank feeling, reported before the bombings that Sudan's
opposition 'doesn't rule out' the possibility that its government is
involved in terrorist activities. Al Mahdi, leader of the National
Democratic Alliance, says that the Sudanese government has very intimate
relations with the terrorist whose group claimed responsibility for the
African embassy bombings, Ben Laden, including construction business and
frequent contacts with high Sudanese officials. He also said that the
Sudanese government is directly involved in terrorist activities.
