In addition, two Marine Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Teams are on site. One group of 50 Marines arrived Oct. 13 from Qatar and the second group arrived Oct. 15 from the United States, Pentagon officials said. The Burke-class Cole lost power over the weekend. The power outage allowed another compartment to flood. "When we lost power, we lost the ability to operate pumps," said Navy spokesperson Lt. Jane Alexander, adding the power is again working and flooding is controlled. "The ship is not in danger of sinking." The investigation into the terrorist attack continues. The FBI is working with Navy investigators and State Department officials to collect evidence. No group has taken responsibility for the attack on the Cole, officials said.
