Question

What was the significance, other than the obvious harm to US forces, of the terror attack on the USS Cole in 2000?

Answer 1

It demonstrated that bin Laden and al-Qaeda were not intimidated by the United States' reprisal for their terrorist acts.

Its small size and force indicated that al-Qaeda's resources were being worn down by the US military.

It demonstrated that bin Laden's control over al-Qaeda was incontrovertible, because the attackers identified themselves as bin Laden's servants just before the explosion.

Its coordination and successful use of underwater rocketry demonstrated that al-Qaeda's strength and use of technology were growing along with the terror movement.
