> If killing thousands of people distracts from sex scandal’s

Wikipedia states that this "9/11 Esque" attack "kill[ed] one employee and wound[ed] eleven". Do you mean there was a medicine shortage caused by the attack? Wikipedia comments briefly on that:

> Germany's ambassador to Sudan at the time of the airstrike, Werner Daum, wrote an article in 2001, in which he called "several tens of thousands of deaths" of Sudanese civilians caused by a medicine shortage a "reasonable guess". but this claim was described as "hard to take seriously" and implausible by historian Keith Windschuttle.

Also:

> the bombing had the unintended effect of stopping relief efforts aimed at supplying food to areas of Sudan gripped by famine caused by that country's ongoing civil war. Many of these agencies had been wholly or partially manned by Americans who subsequently evacuated the country out of fear of retaliation.
