Sudan bombing

Blair 'hasty' in backing Sudan strike
By Robert Peston, Political Editor 
The UK Foreign Office is increasingly concerned that the US last week
bombed an innocent target when destroying a pharmaceutical factory in
Sudan. Senior officials believe Tony Blair, prime minister, was too
hasty in backing President Bill Clinton's strike on the plant in
Khartoum.
"A country like the United States, when its citizens are under attack in
this way and when they are at risk, must have the right to defend itself
and we support our allies in this cause," Mr Blair said.
A Foreign Office official said Mr Blair's support for the US was
"knee-jerk and a bit obtuse". He said the UK had not obtained any
independent evidence that the factory had a military purpose or was
linked to the international terrorist, Osama bin Laden.
