As early as Thursday the Justice Department and the FBI will announced the indictment of two men who carried out the attack on the USS Cole which killed 17 United States Sailors more than two years ago, ABC News has learned.
One of the men, Fahd Mohammad Ahmed Al Quoso, may also be linked to the 9/11 terrorist plot, sources invloved in the investigation told ABC News.
Sources said Al Quoso said an operative who would eventally become a suicide bomber in the Cole attack each carried $18,000 in cash money belts to Bangkok, Thailand in 1999, and gave it to Waleed Mohammad bin Attash aka 'Khallad' the alleged mastermind of that bombing conducted off of the coast of Aden, Yemen on Ocotber 12, 2000.
Bin Attash, who was captured in Pakistan last month is believed then to have passed on part of the $36,000 in cash to 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar during an Al Qaeda planning meeting in January 2000, sources said.

I don't think it's that they "can't see", it more like they "refuse to see"; it's more convenient!

the indictment of two men who carried out the attack on the USS Cole More sloppy writing, but then it is ABC. The men who "carried out" the attack are dead, they died when they set off the explosion the damaged the Cole and killed US sailors. What they mean are men who particpated in the preparation for the attack.

that bombing conducted off of the coast of Aden, Yemen on Ocotber 12, 2000. Makes it sound like it was out at sea somewhere, but it was actually in the harbor.
