U.S.S. Cole. The PSO Officers suggested that the photographs
be shown Iin Sanaa.
Although l
| weU.S.S. Cole, PSO relayed that the reason |
ntion 1S not linked to the bombing or the U_b b.gole. i ithen asked PSO if they would allow him to submit
questions] lthrough them and they agreed.
OC/LES! icautioned. SA: that it is not in
the interests of the assy or the FBI to taint the
relationship between PSO and the Yemeni Minister of Interior.
Therefore, information provided to the FBI by the Minister of
Interior should not be included amon the list of questions
submitted to PSO in Sanaa| I Additionally, since
this arrangement was made between PSOI Iin Sanaa, it
should not be discussed between PSO and the investigative team
