"Osama bin Laden prepared, financed and perpetrated the Cole attack," says Abd al-Karim al-Iryani, Yemen's Prime Minister at the time of the attack and now a senior adviser to Yemeni President Ali Abdallah Salih. But that is not quite enough for the Americans. The FBI and other U.S. officials say they still don't have the evidence to prove their case in a U.S. court, and that all goes back to not being able to conduct an American-style investigation.
