hb - news.excite.com "...Adm. Vern Clark, the chief of naval operations, said he could not fault the Cole's crew for not preventing the midday attack that apparently was carried out by two men in a small harbor craft that was helping tie up the ship's mooring lines at a fueling facility in the middle of the Aden harbor. As a participant in normal harbor operations, the small boat's presence did not raise suspicions, Clark said. "I have no reason to think this was anything but a senseless act of terrorism," Clark said. After helping the Cole moor, the small boat came alongside the warship and apparently detonated a high-explosive bomb, killing themselves in the process. Some reports said the two men in the boat stood at attention as the bomb exploded, although Clark said he could not verify such details based on early information...." From another report, the visit was apparently arranged about 12 days in advance, and that seems more to blame. Regards, Don
