Terrorist Attack on USS Cole
From Month/Year
October / 2000		 To Month/Year
October / 2000

Description
The USS Cole bombing was an attack against the United States Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Cole on 12 October 2000, while it was being refueled in Yemen's Aden harbor.

17 American sailors were killed and 39 injured in the deadliest attack against a United States naval vessel since 1987.

The organization al-Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack against the United States. A U.S. judge has held Sudan liable for the attack, while another has released over $13 million in Sudanese frozen assets to the relatives of those killed. The United States Navy has reconsidered their rules of engagement in response to this attack.
