The fourth story on the Sky News website tonight is Terrorist behind USS Cole attack killed, says Trump.
And the BBC News website has just reported it too. It's their 11th story, published two minutes ago, under the headline USS Cole bomber died in air strike - Trump.

It almost feels like stating the blindingly obvious to point out that the BBC uses very BBC language here, while Sky is less PC.
The Sky headline, as you'll have seen, calls Jamel Ahmed Mohammed Ali al Badawi a "terrorist" while the BBC's headline merely calls him a "bomber".
And, of course, the first paragraphs of their respective reports follow on in the same vein - though the BBC here changes from "bomber" to "militant" (still, as ever, avoiding the word "terrorist").
Sky: A terrorist behind the attack on the USS Cole has been killed in an airstrike, Donald Trump has confirmed.
BBC: Jamal al-Badawi, the al-Qaeda militant behind the attack on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000, died in a US air strike, President Donald Trump has confirmed.
