"It seems to be an attack in the same style as the USS Cole," said the diplomat, referring to the attack on the American warship in which 17 US servicemen were killed.

But Yemeni officials are adamant the incident is nothing like that attack, blamed on al-Qaeda, two years ago in the port of Aden.

What the heck are they in such a hurry to deny this is like the Cole? They know who did it already, and aren't saying? Idiots. It is exactly the same tactic.....a small boat approaching a HUGE boat and an explosion occurs.

Because they don't want the U.S. on them. Better - oh far better - to claim this is just an accident which sometimes happens when small boats laden with explosives run into larger boats.

Of course, this is the French - no worry that anything will be done about it.
