Interpol: USS Cole Attack Planner Escapes 25 minutes ago

LYON, France - A man considered a mastermind of the USS Cole bombing that killed 17 soldiers in a Yemeni port in 2000 was among 23 people who escaped from a Yemen prison last week, Interpol said Sunday.

The international police agency issued an "urgent global security alert" for those who escaped Friday from the prison via a tunnel. It called the escapees "dangerous individuals."

A Yemen security official announced the escape Friday but did not provide details.

"Well, threatening to arm a million Venezuelans and brandishing Kalashnikovs against presumed invaders does sound war-like.... "

Most countries have an army for self defense presumably to be used against invaders. Arming your population in the face of a threat is an important strategy to deter a potential aggressor especially in light of what happened in Iraq.
