04/11/2003 Archived Entry: "Main Suspects in USS Cole Bombing Escape From Yemeni Prison"

I CAN'T HELP BUT SUSPECT THEY HAD SOME HELP: Ten of the major suspects in the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole escaped from prison in Yemen this morning.

"The fugitives, including chief suspect Jamal al-Badawi, had been jailed in the port city of Aden since shortly after the destroyer was bombed, killing 17 American sailors."

The Yemeni government has been, to put it politely, instransigent about pursuing any aspect of this case as several people have reported in the past. I'm not saying that the government would help these men escape but I wouldn't be shocked to learn that elements played some small role.
