AL QAEDA: WE BOMBED JORDAN BECAUSE IT'S A HAVEN FOR JEWS
AMMAN, Jordan — Calling Amman the "backyard garden for the enemies of the religion," Al Qaeda in Iraq claimed responsibility for three homicide bomb attacks on Western hotels in the Jordanian capital that killed at least 56 people and injured at least 115 others.
That death toll does not include the three dead bombers themselves. At least one American was among those killed, according to a U.S. Embassy official, while two others were wounded.
The Al Qaeda claim, posted on a militant Internet site, said Jordan became a target because it was a haven for "Jews and crusaders ... a filthy place for the traitors ... and a center for prostitution."
