The new declassified documents show the frustrations of White House officials fight against terrorism Primary failure of the United States to respond to al-Qaeda in October 2000 attack against the USS Cole, despite evidence that Osama bin Laden was reading poems about the murderer and the attack of the public are taken into account for this purpose.
The lack of response of the U.S. Cole attack - as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush - has reemerged as a painful subject for this week as crew members and family gather at the U.S. naval base in Norfolk, Virginia, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the bombing, which killed 17 U.S. sailors and 38 wounded.
"I was, of course, you know, we can not go ahead and just a kiss of life on 17 U.S. sailors," said John Clodfelter, who lost her son, Kenneth, in the attack, NBC News. "Actually, I did nothing ... to prosecute those who attacked the USS Cole.
At 11:15 am October 12, 2000, the Cole - the destroyer of billions of dollars arsenal of sophisticated weapons in the arsenal of the U.S. Navy - Was moored on the coast of Yemen for refueling when he was approached by a small boat loaded explosives and armed with two suicide bombers. The resulting explosion was a precursor for cooling the September 11 attacks. He made a hole of 60 by 40 meters in the hull of the ship, trapping the bodies of most of the crew members killed in the wreck.
In the days after the bombing, President Clinton has vowed revenge against the terrorists. "You will not find a safe harbor," he proclaimed. "We will find and justice prevail."
