“Americans, we in no way helped”
In the newspaper “the independent” in early December 1993, an article was published British correspondent “The Independent” in the middle East, Robert Fisk, in which he describes his meeting with Osama bin Laden, engaged in the implementation of large-scale building projects in Sudan.
