The
al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory (
Arabic: الشفاء,
romanized:
aš-šifāʔ,
lit. 'remedy') in
Kafouri,
Khartoum North,
Sudan, was constructed between 1992 and 1996 with components imported from
Germany,
India,
Italy,
Sweden,
Switzerland,
Thailand and the
United States. It was opened on 12 July 1997
[3][4] and bombed by the United States on 20 August 1998. The industrial complex was composed of four buildings. It was the largest pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum and employed over 300 workers, producing medicine both for human and veterinary use.
The factory was destroyed in 1998 by a
missile attack launched by the
United States, killing one employee and wounding eleven.
[1][2] The U.S. government claimed that the factory was used for the processing of
VX nerve agent and that the owners of the plant had ties to the
terrorist group al-Qaeda.
These justifications for the bombing were disputed by the owners of the plant, the Sudanese government, and other governments. American officials later acknowledged "that the evidence that prompted
President Clinton to order the missile strike on the Shifa plant was not as solid as first portrayed. Indeed, officials later said that there was no proof that the plant had been manufacturing or storing nerve gas, as initially suspected by the Americans, or had been linked to
Osama bin Laden, who was a resident of Khartoum in the 1980s."
[5] The attack took place a week after the
Monica Lewinsky scandal and two months after release of the film
Wag the Dog, prompting some commentators to describe the attack as a distraction for the public from the scandal.
