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

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.
