Navy revises timeline of USS Cole bombing in Yemen
The Navy says the explosion occurred at 11 18 a m local time nearly two hours after the Cole moored at a fuel dock in Aden harbor, contradicting earlier claims that the attack happened during mooring. Officials say refueling began at 10 30 a m and the ship was tied up by 9 30 a m, raising questions about how attackers approached without detection. The revised facts alter the theory that a harbor craft masking the mooring operation aided the attack, and remaining recovery details include eight victims flown to Dover Air Force Base and four bodies returned from Bahrain.
