FREEDOM NOW NETWORK - October 14. 2000 EXPLOSION QUESTION: HOW COULD A RUBBER RAFT BLOW UP A DESTROYER? by Dot Bibee, Freedom Now Network Tndothb This posting is being sent out to you to see if there is anyone else THINKING about this situation. Among my friends and household, this is a question and none are accepting President Clinton's declaration that this was an act of terrorism nor that it was caused by a rubber raft carrying TONS of explosives. This was the SAME question asked by many in the Oklahoma City bombing since a Ryder truck parked on the curb could not have carried enough explosives necessary to blow up the OKC building. IF it is found that the raft did not put that hole in the SHIP, will the U.S. media, President Clinton, and others still state that the USS Cole was blown up by the rubber raft? For a graphics illustration from the U.S. Navy of what "supposedly" happened go to http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A1801-2000Oct13.html The news is beginning to show that there is DOUBT that the explosion did not happen the way that it is being reported. Could there have been an aircraft (not visible at the port) that could have put the hole with a smart bomb? Has this been looked into? I will give you only EXCERPTS from the news reports, but I hope you will get the message that someone had better start asking QUESTIONS instead of accepting the report that is just now being investigated. 1) Yemen Says No Terrorism Behind US Destroyer Explosion Click here: UPI News Article: Yemen Says No Terrorism Behind US Destroyer Explosion http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=127743 Saturday, 14 October 2000 10:09 (ET) SANAA, Yemen, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- A senior Yemeni official on Saturday rejected United States statements that the explosion on a U.S. Navy destroyer which killed 17 servicemen was an apparent act of terrorism. The commander of the Yemeni naval base of Aden, Gen. Mohammad Ali Ibrahim, said that initial investigations into Thursday's explosion that ripped through the side of the USS Cole off the coast of Aden showed it was not caused "intentionally by external forces." He said the explosion "was most likely caused by a technical malfunction in the U.S. destroyer itself...the large hole the explosion left in the vessel shows it is far-fetched that it was caused by explosive devices, no matter how big." 2) Besides a gaping hole, attack on USS Cole left many questions Click here: UPI News Article: Besides a gaping hole, attack on USS Cole left many questions http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=127684 Friday, 13 October 2000 22:06 (ET)
