The successful attack by Yemeni insurgents in a speedboat packed with explosives on the guided missile destroyer in 2000 could be described as an extension of the idea of a fireship. Another explosive ship attack took place in April 2004, during the Iraq War, when three motor craft laden with explosives attempted the bombing of Khawr Al Amaya Oil Terminal in the Persian Gulf. In an apparent suicide bombing, one blew up and sank a rigid inflatable boat from as it pulled up alongside, killing two US Navy personnel and one member of the US Coast Guard.
