We don't know who bombed the nightclub...so who can say for sure,  But,
I suspect David is on to something here, the poor people were dancing on
the bull's eye. 

The obvious connection is that the people murdered were Westerners in a
non-Western Muslim state. 


French tanker? A Western ship carrying  oil from  Yemen in the ME. 

I think the connection of the French tanker and the Cole is pretty clear
but it's too early to say.
