Fillmore > According to intelligence sources who spoke to Asia Times Online, al-Qaeda concluded that its attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000 was a failure, even though 17 American sailors were killed. As a result, al-Qaeda sent a team to the LTTE to gain expertise in maritime combat operations. The LTTE, as part of its longstanding battle against the Sri Lankan government, has developed a relatively sophisticated maritime wing. I have to say I'm prejudiced against an article of this sort because I believe al Qaeda, if it exists at all, is a US/MOSSAD asset. Thus when I read about "intelligence sources" which claim to know what al Qaeda is doing and thinking I'm highly suspicious that what I'm reading is propaganda or disinformation. Apropos the attack on the USS Cole, I refer you to the attack on the USS Liberty and let you put two and two together. lewrockwell.com
