SANAA, 3 March 2004 — Eleven suspects in the attack on the US destroyer USS Cole in 2000 and the 2002 bombing of the French oil supertanker Limburg will go on trial in the next few days, a Yemeni military newspaper reported Thursday.

The 26 September weekly quoting a security source said files of six suspected accomplices in the Cole suicide bomb attack and five suspects in the Limburg attack have been given to the public prosecution and the trials will begin in coming days.

Also to stand trial are three others suspected of being involved in “sabotage acts”, said the unnamed sources, without giving details on charges against the three men.
