| Destroyer Mason |
US officials said the United States sees growing signs that the Huthi fighters allied with Iran behind attack on Sunday on a US destroyer off the coast of Yemen, despite denials from the Houthis.
Officials said in a statement, "Reuters" - they are not authorized them to speak out publicly because the investigation into the incident is still going on - it appears that the rebels used small boats in monitoring to help guide the missile attack on the destroyer.
He said Washington is also investigating the possibility that the radar station to be under the control of the Houthis in Yemen has spotted a destroyer Mason site which would help them in the transfer of the devastating coordinates in preparation for an attack.
And he fired a rocket Cruz (failure in injury ships) US officials believed they were designed to strike ships at sea at the US naval ships on Sunday of land in Yemen controlled by Huthi militia just north of the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb.
He said Pentagon spokesman Geoff Davis told a news conference that anyone who shoots at a US naval ships operating in international waters "expose himself to danger." Davis was asked if the Pentagon determines the targets for retaliatory strikes, he said "I will not confirm it now."
Any of the rockets, which were fired from the destroyer Mason or ship Ponce was not hurt and is amphibious cargo ship was near the destroyer.
Houthis publicly denied any role in the attack.
But the details of the attack, if confirmed by the US investigation will provide further support to the claims of the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) that "the facts indicate certainly seem" to the involvement of rebels.
