ARABS-US RELATIONS - March 1 - Bin Laden Praises Cole Attack.
Al Hayat says at the Feb. 26 wedding of his son in the Afghan city
of Kandahar, Osama Bin Laden praised the Oct. 12, 2000 attack on the US
destroyer Cole that killed 17 American sailors in Aden. The praise came
in the form of a poem the exiled Saudi read at the wedding. He condemned
the Cole as he described its ill-fated voyage: "She sails in to the
waves flanked by arrogance, haughtiness and false power. To her doom she
moves slowly". US and Yemeni investigators are probing alleged
links between Bin Laden and the suicide bombing.
