USS Cole bomber died in Yemen air strike - Trump
Jamal al-Badawi, the al-Qaeda militant behind the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, died in a US air strike, President Donald Trump has confirmed.
"Our great military has delivered justice for the heroes lost and wounded in the cowardly attack," Mr Trump said.
The air strike targeting Badawi took place in the Marib region on 1 January.
Seventeen US sailors were killed and at least 40 people were wounded in the attack on the US destroyer as it was refuelling in the port of Aden.
