On October 12, 2000, a small boat loaded with explosives crashed into the side of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Cole, killing 17 sailors and wounding another 39, leaving a gaping, 40-foot hole in the side of the ship.
Badawi, along with Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, Abu Ali al-Harithi and Fahd al-Quso, was named by the incoming George W. Bush administration as conspirators who organized the attack on behalf of al-Qaeda, which grabbed credit for the act. Tawfiq bin Attash has also been accused of organizing the attack.
