Washington: Former US President Bill Clinton asked advisers for more information on Osama bin Laden in 1998 after flagging a newspaper story, according to records from the Clinton White House that were released yesterday.
The records also detail consideration of military action in Haiti in 1994 and preparations for Supreme Court nomination hearings.
The National Archives released about 1,000 pages of previously restricted documents from Clinton's two terms, part of about 20,000 pages of Clinton records that have been released since February.
The latest batch shows Clinton asked his national security aides whether the CIA overstated bin Laden's role in the August 1998 bombing of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Other papers show Clinton's team weighed options to restore democracy and remove military leaders who staged a coup in Haiti, along with security plans for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.
