DESCRIPTION:

On October 12, 2000, the USS Cole, a Navy guided-missile destroyer (DDG-67), was hit by an Al Qaida terrorist attack while harboring and refueling in Aden, Yemen.

Seventeen American sailors were killed in the attack, and thirty-nine were left injured.

The USS Cole bombing was the deadliest strike against a United States Naval vessel in more than two decades. The last major attack against a peace-time US naval ship was the June 8, 1967 attack on the USS Liberty by the state of Israel. Thirty-four died, and 172 were wounded in that 75-minute unprovoked assault; it is covered in-depth in LEEP Calendar.

By 2002, US Intelligence would link the attack on the USS Cole to the events of September 11, 2001. The mini-series "The Looming Tower" covers this in detail.
