Clinton ordered the bombing of a soap factory and killed a camel inside a barn, but he failed to kill Osama bin Laden when he had the chance.

"The U.S. had been suspicious for months, partly because of Osama bin Laden's financial ties, but also because of strong connections to Iraq. Sources say the U.S. had intercepted phone calls from the plant to a man in Iraq who runs that country's chemical weapons program."

The Clinton administration also warned the American public about those ties and defended its response to al Qaeda terror by citing an Iraqi connection.
