Badawi was indicted by a federal grand jury in 2003 over his role in the October 2000 deadly bombing of the USS Cole, a Navy guided-missile destroyer. It is the latest blow to Yemen's al Qaeda branch, known as Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which has lost key leaders in U.S strikes in recent years. Our GREAT MILITARY has delivered justice for the heroes lost and wounded in the cowardly attack on the USS Cole. The death of Badawi removes perhaps the last major figure in the USS Cole attack from the battlefield. The Cole attack was a devastating blow to the US Navy.
