12-year-old leads Aden inquiry into USS Cole bombing
A Yemeni boy told investigators a man paid him to watch a car and he was taken to sea in a small boat, a key lead in the USS Cole case. Authorities focus on two men who rented an Aden apartment where bomb-making material was found. The two have not been seen since the Oct. 12 bombing that killed 17 sailors and wounded 39. The Navy says the last four sailors’ bodies were recovered, with 13 already flown to the United States, and FBI Director Louis Freeh was in Yemen for talks with President Saleh about identifying the attackers.
