The Bombing Of The USS Cole (The Precursor To September 11th)

With the 21st anniversary of the bombing of the UUS Cole, i decided to do a video based on the events. On October 12th 2000, a United States missile destroyer named the USS Cole had docked off the port of Aden, Yemen. Commander Kirk Lippold had ordered the docking for a fuel stop. Almost 2 hours later, a fiberglass boat carrying C4 explosives and two suicide bombers approached the port side of the destroyer and exploded. The bombing killed 17 and injured 37. In this video i will be giving a full and comprehensive run down of the months leading up to the event, and the months and years after. How the intelligence community failed in sharing pertinent data with the Justice Department, the suspects allegedly involved, the Yemeni government's reaction, the subsequent investigations which were impeded by US officials as well as the tortured confession of the alleged mastermind Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who would face a military tribunal and have the charges against him dropped, reinstated and his current detention at Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba
