On October 12, 2000 on the hostile seas of Yemen, the USS Cole, a United States Navy guided missile destroyer came under attack when terrorists aboard a fiberglass boat detonated an arsenal of C4 explosives, injuring 37 sailors, and killing 17.
Assigned as the Office of Origin for any terrorist incident in the world, the NYPD/FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force headed abroad to hunt for those who gave the deadly orders. Among that cadre was Detective Paul Kwiecinski. A veteran of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit, his E-Man instincts would certainly be needed as stared down cold blooded killers who made menaces stateside look tame by comparison.
Really enjoyed profiling Paul for an absolutely stellar Volume 49 of The E-Men: Inside The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit.
