Official narrative
A small fiberglass boat carrying explosives and two suicide bombers approached the port side of the destroyer and detonated a bomb. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility.
Follow up
United States Ambassador to Yemen Barbara Bodine obstructed John O'Neill's investigation into this event. O'Neill was later murdered on September 11, 2001.
Alternative theories
Joe Vialls and several other commentators have suggested that attack was a false flag. Several writers have blamed Israel for the attack,[1] some suggesting that the ship was hit by a missile from a submarine.[2][3][4]
