USS Cole suspect arrested in Yemen
Yemeni security forces arrested a man identified as al-Nagar over the USS Cole bombing that killed 17 American sailors. Officials say he played a major role, acting as a middleman between suicide bombers and al Qaeda sympathizers in Bouraiga, with earlier arrests in Lawdar. The case ties Yemen to bin Laden’s network and follows broader militant crackdowns.
