The following AP article is copied from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle 10/20/2000 But first some comments to keep in mind:
1) Why would anyone who was about to kill themselves in a suicide mission hire a 12-year-old kid to 'watch his car at the port' while he was gone when he knew he wasn't coming back?
...unless of course, he wanted to make sure there was a trail later to connect him to his apartment...
2) If you were so smart that you could accomplish such a mission, why would you be so dumb as to leave documents in your apartment that would expose the group you were working for? ...unless of course, you WEREN'T working for them, yet wanted them to be blamed because you were really an operative for ...who? Faction 1 or 2? Clinton Admin? NWO? China? All the same?

Am I the only one that finds this fishy? Osama bin Laden, who has managed to avoid the FBI, CIA, NSA, Scotland Yard, to name but a few, is way too smart to have left these kinds of clues. Somebody was supposed to find them and make presumptions. Mainly, I think, more fodder for the American People, so they won't object when we jump into the middle of the war. Hmmm, does this remind anyone of Pearl Harbor? Or is something even more serious than World WarII going on here? Anybody...?

BOMBING CLUES UNCOVERED
ADEN, Yemen (AP) -- A 12-year-old Yemeni boy has told investigators that a man paid him to watch his car, then took to sea in a small boat and never returned, providing a key early lead in their search for clues about what happened to the USS Cole.
Authorities have been focusing on two men who rented an Aden apartment where bomb-making material was later found. The two have not been seen since the U.S. warship was bombed Oct. 12 as it arrived in Aden to refuel, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39.

The 12-year-old boy told authorities a bearded man wearing glasses gave him small change and told him to watch his car near the port on the day of the bombing, Saleh said Wednesday on the Arab satellite news station Al-Jazeera.
According to the boy, the man then went to sea in a small boat he carried atop the car and did not return, Saleh said. Yemeni police apparently were able to trace the man to the Aden apartment.
Yemeni security officials said Thursday the apartment yielded documents they believe originated in Hadhramaut, a region along the eastern border with Oman that is home to lawless tribes that have kidnapped foreigners for ransom.
A vehicle believed to have been used by the attackers also contained documents traced to Hadhramaut, the Yemeni officials said. They said investigators were sent to the region Thursday.
Yemeni officials said another team of investigators was going to neighboring Saudi Arabia on Thursday. Many Yemenis from Hadhramaut have settled there.
Saleh, in an intereview with CNN Thursday, said "it could be" when asked if Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden--whom the United States accuses of masterminding the 1998 bombins of its embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people--was behind the attack on the USS Cole.
A Taliban official in Afghanistan said Arab militants who met with bin Laden in late September left the country just four days before the attack on the Cole. The official who is close to the security apparatus of the Talibanm religious militia that controls nearly all of Afghanistan, asked not to be identified for his own safety.
