Sudanese authorities insist that the plant manufactured only pharmaceuticals.
The United States also claims it had other evidence linking the plant with chemical weapons production. The Iraqi, identified as Emad Al Ani, is said to have had extensive dealings with officials at the plant in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. Meanwhile, four days after the attacks on the Sudan plant and terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, the Pentagon still refuses to confirm what weapons it used or provide any details of the operation. Pentagon officials say the unusual post-strike secrecy is aimed at denying the targets of the strike any information they don't already have about U.S. tactics and capabilities. Nevertheless, Pentagon sources say 79 ship-launched cruise missiles were fired in last Thursday's attacks.
