US judge orders Sudan to pay 7.9 million for attack on USS Cole
A US federal judge on Wednesday ordered Sudan to pay 7.9 million dollars to the families of the 17 sailors killed in the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole.
The bombing was carried out by two Yemeni militants with Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network who had trained in Sudan. The US destroyer was anchored in the Yemeni port of Aden at the time of the attack.
The Yemenis blew themselves up next to the Cole, punching a 12-meter (40-foot) hole in its side. Thirty-nine sailors were also wounded in the attack.
