Washington Times: Bill Clinton White House suppressed evidence of Iran’s terrorism
Sent secret cable accusing Tehran of 1996 Khobar Towers attack, but kept it from public.
Bill Clinton’s administration gathered enough evidence to send a top-secret communique accusing Iran of facilitating the deadly 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing, but suppressed that information from the American public and some elements of U.S. intelligence for fear it would lead to an outcry for reprisal, according to documents and interviews.
Before Mr. Clinton left office, the intelligence pointing toward Iran’s involvement in the terror attack in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 U.S. servicemen and wounded hundreds was deemed both extensive and “credible,” memos show.
WNU Editor: Speculation on Iran's involvement in the Khobar Towers attack has been around for years. War is Boring has a good post on what the Clinton administration at the time was doing .... and why they did they not come out and blame Iran directly for the attack .... In the ’90s, Bill Clinton Considered Bombing Iran (Paul Iddon, War Is Boring). But I think this story is now becoming important again because of the capture of a key suspect by Saudi intelligence in August .... Source: Khobar Towers bombing suspect nabbed in Beirut (CNN). I suspect that there is now new evidence, and with politics being what it is in Washington .... people are now talking.

'Bubba" Clinton is and was a philandering coward.
Nuff said.
WNU Editor,
Since day one Al Quida has claimed response ability for Khobar,
Like the Anfal Campaign against the Kurds, the U.S. found it more convenient to blame Iran.
A decade later, when it was convenient, the U.S. blamed Saddam.
Basically, if their mouths are moving, that are lying.
