HC Deb 22 February 1999 vol 326 cc199-200W
Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Usama bin Laden had invested in the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum; and if he will make a statement. [71762]

Mr. Fatchett

[holding answer 16 February 1999]Usama bin Laden's past association with Sudan is well known. He had numerous business interests there and we believe that he still has.

We do not have evidence to indicate whether or not these interests included the Al-Shifa plant.
