Al Qaeda In Yemen (The USS Cole Bombing Operation)

In 1996, Osama Bin Laden's brother in law, Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, has started funding a militant group in Yemen called "The Islamic Army Of Aden", named after the port city Aden. By mid 1998, the group starts operations and making political statements and carries about kidnappings and assaults on local law enforcement, similar to what was transpiring in the Philippines, in which Khalifa also runs small businesses and funds the Islamic militant group affiliated with Bin Laden, Abu Sayyaf. US Intelligence however, are quite familiarized with what is happening in Yemen, as the NSA and CIA have begun monitoring an Al Qaeda safehouse located in the Yemen capitol, Sana'a. The house owned by a Bin Laden associate, Ahmed al-Hada, is also sometimes frequented by the son-in-law and future 9/11 hijacker, Khalid al-Mihdhar, whom is married to his daughter.
