MIKE HANNA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, there had been a number of explosions at U.S. embassies in Africa, in Eastern Africa. The U.S. had expressed its absolute fury and anger with those responsible and made it quite clear that it would retaliate or would attack those that it held responsible.</s>WILLIAM J. CLINTON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Today, I ordered our armed forces to strike at terrorist-related facilities in Afghanistan and Sudan.</s>HANNA: Afghanistan, within the U.S. terms, may have appeared to be a legitimate target, it does appear to have been a base for the people who the U.S. held responsible for the embassy bombings. Certainly, there was no such indication whatsoever that the target in Khartoum was -- was a legitimate target. In fact, all evidence that we had on the ground was completely the opposite.</s>ABLASSE OUEDRAOGO, BURKINA FASO FOREIGN MINISTER: Terrorism is an international issue. We should find an international solution.</s>HANNA: Not only was it a mistake, but it was a very big mistake indeed, and the Sudanese did everything they could to highlight that in the international community.
