The terrorist behind the 2000 attack on the USS Cole is believed to have been killed in a US airstrike in Yemen on Tuesday, according to a US administration official.

Jamel Ahmed Mohammed Ali Al-Badawi was an al Qaeda operative who the US believes helped orchestrate the October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 American sailors.

The official said all intelligence indicators show al-Badawi was killed in a strike in Yemen as a result of a joint US military and intelligence operation.

US officials told CNN that the strike took place in Yemen's Ma'rib Governorate.

The administration official said that al-Badawi was struck while driving alone in a vehicle and that the US assessed there was not any collateral damage.


CNN link is out there.

Just driving along humming a tune on the radio, and boom. Only his car gets zapped out of existence, as if by God. Fitting.

That's impossible. The geniuses on this board convinced me that we aren't in Yemen.

Sheds new light on that whole Trump/U.S./Saudi-backed genocide thing.

I'm glad the bastard is dead just because he doesn't have to carry that name any more. Sheesh...
