On September 10, 2001, during a visit to Australia, former U.S. President Bill Clinton inadvertently revealed to the Australian audience that they almost killed bin Laden in December 1998 because of the August 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in East Africa that killed 257 people and injured more than 5,000 people, and the CIA listed bin Laden as the number one suspect.
But considering that the attack site was in the downtown area, when more than 300 innocent people would be affected, Clinton did not give the order to attack. Coincidentally, however, on September 11, 2001, the world-shattering "911 Incident" occurred, and the mastermind of this attack was bin Laden.
Then Kroger, the former chairman of the Australian Liberal Party, handed over the recording to Sky TELEVISION in the United Kingdom with Clinton's consent, and a White House record can also prove that Clinton visited Australia on September 10, a few months after the end of his presidency, and that recording was also recorded by Kroger with Clinton's consent.
But what was the purpose of the US military finally stopping the attack? It should be known that in recent years, the US military has carried out not many bombing missions regardless of civilian casualties, and the other side is still the number one target of the US embassy that has just attacked.
However, there is also a theory that before the attack, there was intelligence that bin Laden suddenly left his home temporarily, and the US military was unwilling to bear the consequences of the unsuccessful attack and the large number of civilian casualties, so it stopped the attack.
