LITTLE ADEN, Yemen -- American and Yemeni investigators were encamped yesterday at a remote boat ramp seeking clues to the identity of the two suicide bombers who launched a small boat into the water before heading into Aden's harbor for the attack on the destroyer Cole that killed 17 U.S. sailors. As Navy officials in Washington revised their initial accounts of how the bombers blindsided the Cole, agents of the FBI and other U.S. specialists set up a cluster of dark green tents beside the boat ramp, six miles across the Bay of Aden from the harbor mooring point where the Cole was attacked.

Northern Yemen is the country many Americans remember as Yemen. It won independence from Turkey in 1918 and has a village-based economy, many people living as their ancestors did. Southern Yemen is what Americans used to call Aden. It was a British colony and port on the sea route to India, long in rebellion. The British left in 1967, replaced by an indigenous Marxist regime.Northern Yemen, on the Red Sea, is mostly west of Southern Yemen, on the Gulf of Aden, which extends north and south of it. Southern Yemen is twice as big. Northern Yemen has five times as many people.

WASHINGTON - A former top U.S. commander in the Persian Gulf defended a decision to refuel Navy ships in Yemen, the site of last week's deadly attack on the destroyer USS Cole, saying yesterday that it was less dangerous than neighboring countries and noting that Yemeni officials are taking steps to deal with their terrorist problems. Retired Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, who stepped down this year as commander of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf region, told Congress that before the Cole's visit, 27 Navy ships had used the Yemeni port of Aden since last year.
