Suspect in USS Cole bombing was reported killed by U.S. drone strike in Pakistan

NEW YORK — A key al-Qaida figure wanted by the FBI for the murder of 17 U.S. sailors aboard the USS Cole reportedly has resurfaced in Yemen despite reports two months ago that he had been killed in a CIA drone strike in Pakistan.

The apparent re-emergence of Fahd al Quso, defiant and healthy, shows yet again that some reports about the deaths of top terrorist targets in northwest Pakistan ultimately prove to be inaccurate. To prove that he is alive, al Quso permitted his photograph to be taken with Arafat Mudabish, a Yemeni journalist who interviewed him last week.

“As you see in the photo, he was fine,” Mudabish told NBC News in a telephone interview from Yemen. “He lives in an isolated mountain area where there is no Yemeni government presence. The tribesmen are protecting him. … His health was obviously good.”

U.S. and Yemeni officials did not dispute the authenticity of the interview with al Quso.

3. Since the USS Cole bombing didn't eliminate all the known suspects, shouldn't we try to capture the

guy to see what he has to say about it?

Odd how little interest there is in maintaining the evidentiary record (and witnesses) in these cases.

4. Is he one of those "second in command" guys that boooosh was

always killing?
