USS Cole boomers sentenced to death
 A Yemeni court has sentenced two men to death over the bomb attack on the USS Cole, which killed 17 people in 2000. Suspected ringleader Abdel Rahim al-Nashiri, who is currently in US custody, and Jamal Mohammed al-Bedawi, were both given the death penalty. Four others were given between five and 10 years in jail for the attack, blamed on Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. In October 2000, two attackers rammed the destroyer in the port of Aden with a small boat laden with explosives. Posted by: Howard UK 2004-09-29 |
