Six accused of bomb attack on US destroyer
A Yemeni security court today charged six Yemenis in the planning of the bombing of a US destroyer in October 2000 and said they belonged to Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network, opening the first trial in the Cole case.
Seventeen American sailors were killed when two suicide bombers in an explosives-laden boat rammed the USS Cole as it refuelled in the southern port city of Aden. The bombing was blamed on bin Laden’s al-Qaida terror network.
