Seventeen American sailors were killed after the Cole was rammed by a tug boat packed with plastic explosives while moored in the Yemeni port of Aden in 2000

Who fact checked this story?

(snip)
On December 12, USS Cole (DDG-67), once a powerful symbol of U.S. military might, limped home aboard the Norwegian transport ship M/V Blue Marlin for repairs to a gaping hole left by a bomb attack in Yemen that killed 17 U.S. sailors. The destroyer, unable to sail under its own steam, was carried into a cold & choppy Pascagoula Bay by the heavy-lift vessel Blue Marlin after a 6 week voyage from Yemen.
