Bombings

[Gar W. Lipow]

I searched the worldwide media on he internet looking for any info
beyond the U.S. official line, and what can be read between the lines
of the official U.S. press.
One article in Haaretz suggests that the information linking Osama Bin
Laden to the bombings came from Israeli intelligence.

By Amos Harel and Yossi Verter, Ha'aretz Correspondents and Agencies 

"Israeli and U.S. intelligence have exchanged considerable information
on the international infrastructure of Islamic terrorism in the two
weeks since the attacks on the U.S. embassies in East Africa. Israel
provided the United States with information relating to the
investigation of the attacks and about the connections of the Saudi
billionaire Osama Bin Laden with various Islamic terrorist groups."

An editorial from the same paper By Zvi Bar'el suggests: 

"Striking at the "infrastructure of terrorism," as President Bill
Clinton defined  yesterday's strikes on Sudan and Afghanistan, is a
well-known formula.

Generally it is invoked to cover up a lack of precise and immediate
information about the perpetrators of attacks and the places where
they have found refuge.

In the absence of precise intelligence, the administration has in the
past also adopted two general methods of operation: bombing targets of
some kind, which can be reasonably linked to terrorist activity, and
imposing sanctions. "
